Congress.gov lists Kweisi Mfume as a cosponsor of H.R. 4113, but the bill's latest action remains referral to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on 2025-06-24 and the bill status is still 'Introduced'; no House passage, Senate passage, or enactment is shown.

Mfume took concrete legislative action by cosponsoring the reauthorization bill, but the measure did not advance beyond introduction, so the promised passage was not delivered.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 4113 as introduced on 06/24/2025, referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and still at the status 'Introduced,' with later tracker steps of Passed House, Passed Senate, To President, and Became Law not completed.

The official bill record shows the reauthorization act had not passed the House, Senate, or become law; it remained introduced and referred, so the promised passage was not delivered.

The Congress.gov actions page shows only two actions: 06/24/2025 Introduced in House and 06/24/2025 Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

The official actions record contains no floor passage, Senate passage, enrollment, presidential signature, or public law action, indicating the bill did not pass during the relevant term as of the assessment date.

The introduced bill text states H.R. 4113 is 'To reauthorize the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000' and that Smith introduced it 'for himself, Mr. Mfume, and Ms. Salazar'; Section 1 names it the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2025.

The bill text confirms the measure matched the promised anti-trafficking reauthorization and that Mfume was part of the introduced bill, but the text itself was only the introduced version.

Mfume's office said Rep. Mfume and Rep. Smith urged Speaker Mike Johnson to bring their Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act to the House floor for a vote, and described the bill as reauthorizing and strengthening anti-human-trafficking programs through 2030.

Mfume publicly advocated for House floor consideration, showing a serious effort to pass the bill, but the request to leadership also indicates the bill had not yet received a House vote.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Mfume materially supported the relevant federal bill by being an original cosponsor of H.R. 4113 and publicly urging House leadership to bring the Frederick Douglass trafficking reauthorization bill to the floor. However, the promised outcome was passage/reauthorization, and the current Congress.gov record still shows the bill only introduced and referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on June 24, 2025, with no House passage, Senate passage, presidential action, or enactment. This is a serious legislative effort but not delivery.

Mfume materially supported the promise by cosponsoring H.R. 4113 in the 119th Congress and publicly urging House leadership to bring the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act to the floor. But the available federal legislative record shows the bill remained at the introduced-and-referred stage and did not pass the House, Senate, or become law during the relevant term. Because the promised outcome was passing the reauthorization act, his support and advocacy show a serious attempt, but not delivery.

Mfume materially supported the promise during his current federal House term by cosponsoring H.R. 4113 and publicly urging House leadership to bring the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2025 to the floor. However, available congressional status information shows the bill had not been enacted or passed into law, so the promised outcome of passing the reauthorization was not delivered. Because he made a serious legislative effort, effort credit applies.
