April 2, 2026. Senators Dave McCormick and Catherine Cortez Masto recently introduced the bipartisan Safe Roads for Those Who Serve Act to protect first responders and roadside workers as they do their jobs on roads and highways.

McCormick publicly committed to the policy and announced the bipartisan bill, but this statement does not show enactment, committee action, or other later delivery within the lookback window.

McCormick's Senate office says he and Senator Cortez Masto introduced the bipartisan Safe Roads for Those Who Serve Act to protect first responders and roadside workers. The release says the bill would improve data collection, public awareness, research, outreach, and infrastructure-grant safety planning.

Official Senate-office evidence shows McCormick took concrete same-term legislative action directly matching the promise, but it describes introduction and proposed effects, not enactment or completed protections.

GovInfo identifies S.4245 as the introduced Senate version of the Safe Roads for Those Who Serve Act of 2026.

The official bill-text record supports that the action reached introduction in the 119th Congress, which is meaningful effort but not proof of passage or enactment.

Congress.gov states that enacted bills and joint resolutions appear on the 119th Congress public-laws list after NARA assigns public-law numbers. The visible list contains no S.4245 or Safe Roads entry.

The official public-laws list does not show the Safe Roads for Those Who Serve Act as enacted, supporting a non-delivery finding as of the assessment date.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

McCormick took concrete same-term action that directly matched the promise by joining Senator Cortez Masto in introducing S.4245, the Safer Roads for Those Who Serve Act of 2026, to enhance roadside worker and first responder safety. However, the available official records show only introduction and referral to committee, with no enactment or completed federal protection by July 1, 2026. That supports partial credit for support/advancement, not full delivery.

never same_term A for effort

McCormick materially attempted the promise by co-introducing the bipartisan Safer Roads for Those Who Serve Act of 2026, which directly targets roadside worker and first responder safety. The available record shows only introduction and referral to committee in the 119th Congress, with no enactment or completed policy outcome. Because the promised outcome was to support and advance legislation, he gets credit for a serious same-term legislative effort, but not delivery of enhanced protections.
