Congressman Valadao Joins Bipartisan, Bicameral Delegation to Strengthen U.S. Workforce ... joined ... to reintroduce the Digital Skills for Today’s Workforce Act.
Support legislation to strengthen the U.S. workforce and expand digital skills training.

Evidence
Valadao said he helped pass the FY27 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The release says the bill includes rural broadband grants and loans.
Valadao said the bill would help with workforce retention and institutional knowledge as part of the FY27 Legislative Branch appropriations process.
Assessments
The available evidence does not show Valadao delivering on this promise through clear support for legislation specifically aimed at strengthening the U.S. workforce or expanding digital-skills training. The cited FY27 appropriations actions concern rural broadband, local infrastructure, and congressional operations, which are at most adjacent to the promise and do not establish a direct workforce-training or digital-skills legislative accomplishment. Because the record here is too indirect to credit full or partial fulfillment, and it also does not document a serious failed attempt on this specific promise, the best judgment is unresolved.
