Congress.gov records that the 117th Congress H.R.7 passed the House but Senate cloture on proceeding was not invoked, 49-50.

Assessments

delivered same_term

The promise was to support the Paycheck Fairness Act, not necessarily to secure enactment. In Trahan's first House term, she cosponsored H.R.7 on January 30, 2019 and voted yea when it passed the House on March 27, 2019. Later cosponsorships and votes reinforce continued support, but the promise was already fulfilled in the same federal term.
