The promise was to introduce and support the Fair Pay Act, not necessarily to enact it. The evidence shows Norton introduced H.R. 8663, the Fair Pay Act of 2026, on May 4, 2026, during her current federal term, and publicly urged support for it in contemporaneous remarks. That satisfies the promised action in the same term.
