Evidence
Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) introduced the 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act to connect students in 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) with mentors from SCORE to teach entrepreneurship.
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) announced joint introduction of legislation to connect CCLC students with SCORE mentors (press release dated March 23, 2026).
Senator Blackburn's office says Blackburn and Cortez Masto introduced legislation connecting CCLC students with SCORE mentors and quotes Blackburn supporting the 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act.
Cortez Masto's office states that Democratic Sen. Cortez Masto and Republican Sen. Blackburn introduced the 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act for student entrepreneurship mentoring.
The bill text says: "Ms. CORTEZ MASTO (for herself and Mrs. BLACKBURN) introduced the following bill" and identifies it as the 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act.
Assessments
The promise was specifically to introduce and support bipartisan legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. The evidence shows Blackburn, a sitting U.S. Senator, introduced and publicly supported the bipartisan 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act with Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto in 2026, aimed at connecting students with SCORE mentors and entrepreneurship education. That directly satisfies the claimed action during the same federal term.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto jointly introduced the bipartisan 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act (press releases dated Mar 23 and Apr 8, 2026) to connect students with SCORE mentors. The promise was to "introduce and support bipartisan legislation to support young entrepreneurs," which is directly satisfied by this joint introduction while Blackburn is in office. No further legislative enactment is required to count as fulfilling the pledge to introduce and support such legislation.
