Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to undo this harm and prevent future attempts to silence Black voters.
Support passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
Occurrences
Mr. McGarvey is listed among the cosponsors of H.R. 14, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025.
Evidence
The sponsor/cosponsor list includes "McGarvey, Morgan [D-KY]". The page says, "Latest Action: House - 03/05/2025 Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary" and "This bill has the status Introduced."
McGarvey said, "Congress must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to undo this harm."
Assessments
As of June 22, 2026, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2025 (H.R. 14) had not passed; Congress.gov lists its latest action as referral to the House Judiciary Committee on March 5, 2025, with status still 'Introduced.' McGarvey did take meaningful supportive steps in office, including cosponsoring H.R. 14 and publicly calling on April 29, 2026 for Congress to pass the act after Louisiana v. Callais. That shows a serious legislative effort to support the bill, but not delivery of the promised outcome of passage. Under this rubric, that is a failed outcome with effort rather than partial or delivered.
