Her official first-year release says she introduced 16 bills and cosponsored about 300 bills and resolutions. The release describes those bills as focused on health care and food-security cuts, veterans and first responders, farmers and rural communities, and the Kennedy Center; it does not identify a delivered small-business formation, red-tape reduction, or early-stage funding law.

Her own office’s first-year achievements do not claim fulfillment of this business-formation promise.

H.R.6412, titled the Independence Investment Fund Act, was introduced on December 3, 2025, sponsored by Rep. Pete Sessions and referred to the House Financial Services Committee. Congress.gov lists the bill status as Introduced, not passed or enacted.

This is a funding/investment-related legislative effort in the same Congress, but it had not become law as of the assessment date, so it does not deliver the promise.

Her official Votes and Legislation page links to sponsored and cosponsored legislation and recent House votes. The recent votes shown include appropriations and other bills, but the page does not show an enacted measure specifically making business formation easier, cutting startup red tape, or expanding early-stage funding programs.

Official office legislative page provides no evidence that the specific business-formation promise had been fulfilled by enacted legislation.
