Assessments
Moran formally introduced the WAGES Act with Sen. Todd Young, and the bill matches the promise by creating a refundable payroll tax credit for employers participating in Registered Apprenticeship Programs. He also continued promoting the bill in his current term, so the promised legislative support was materially advanced on his own initiative.
The promise was to support legislation creating a refundable payroll tax credit for employers participating in Registered Apprenticeship Programs, not necessarily to enact it into law. Moran fulfilled that support pledge in his current House term by introducing the WAGES Act with matching policy language and then publicly promoting it through official congressional activity. Because his own legislative action directly matches the promised form of support, this counts as delivered in the same term.
Moran promised to support legislation creating a refundable payroll tax credit for employers participating in Registered Apprenticeship Programs. During his current federal House term, he introduced the WAGES Act with Sen. Todd Young and later publicly promoted it, and the described bill matches the promised policy mechanism. The evidence shows support and material advancement of the legislation, not final enactment, but enactment was not the explicit promised outcome.
