Evidence

The Congressional Equality Caucus membership page lists Rep. Brad Sherman (CA-32) among the caucus members.

Sherman is publicly listed as a member of the Equality Caucus, which is the clearest official sign of ongoing support available in the record reviewed.

The caucus homepage includes an image labeled 'Rep. Takano introducing the Equality Act in the 119th Congress' and shows a June 12, 2026 latest-news item.

The caucus is still actively centered on equality messaging in the current term, but this page does not show a new Sherman-specific Equality Act action in the 30-day lookback window.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The reviewed record shows current-term support for LGBTQ nondiscrimination policy through Brad Sherman's membership in the Congressional Equality Caucus, and the Equality Act remains active in the House context in the 119th Congress. But the evidence provided does not show Sherman himself reintroduced the Equality Act, sponsored it, or materially advanced it to enactment. Because related officials are carrying the bill and Sherman's documented contribution here is limited to caucus membership rather than direct bill action, this supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
