The promise was framed as continued advocacy and opposition, not as guaranteeing defeat of the bill. In her federal House role, Pressley publicly opposed legislation stripping the Federal Reserve's maximum-employment mandate and materially engaged in the committee process through amendments during the same term. Even though the bill advanced in committee, the promised conduct was to keep fighting and oppose the effort, which the evidence supports.
