Evidence

The office announced that Williams led introduction of the Tech to Save Moms Act, describing it as legislation to support technology that closes maternal health care gaps and specifically noting it would expand remote patient monitoring and promote virtual training and capacity-building models.

Official House office statement shows Williams took a concrete legislative action aligned with the claim by introducing the Tech to Save Moms Act, which explicitly includes telehealth-style tools, remote patient monitoring, provider training, and digital approaches for maternal health.

GovInfo lists H.R. 8317 as introduced in the House on April 15, 2026 and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The bill title is Tech to Save Moms Act; the full title states it would authorize grants to expand technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity-building models to improve maternal health outcomes.

The official bill record confirms the legislative effort was actually introduced and routed to committee, but it remained at the introduced stage in the lookback window rather than enacted, so the commitment is only partially delivered so far.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Williams materially fulfilled the promise as phrased by leading introduction of the Tech to Save Moms Act during her current House term. The bill directly matches the commitment by addressing maternal health through technology-enabled models including remote patient monitoring, virtual training, capacity-building, and digital tools. The measure had not been enacted in the evidence window, so the real-world policy expansion was not completed, but the promise was to support legislation rather than secure passage.
