Evidence

Torres successfully added an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2027 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill requiring Members of Congress with publicly disclosed House Ethics Committee investigations against them to complete all workplace misconduct trainings in person as opposed to online. The successful amendment was one of three that Torres offered to the bill. Torres’ successful amendment will require any Member of Congress with an active, publicly disclosed Ethics Committee investigation to take their workplace misconduct training in person. Torres offered two additional amendments to the fiscal year 2027 House Legislative Branch Appropriations bill to increase funding for the House Ethics Committee investigative team, and to require in-person workplace misconduct training for all Members of Congress.

Concrete in-committee success for a narrower version of the claim: in-person training requirement for Members under active, publicly disclosed Ethics Committee investigation, not all Members of Congress.

The measure was approved by the Committee with a vote of 34 to 28. The posted summary lists: "Torres #3 – Requires in-person workplace rights training for members under review by the House Ethics Committee."

Official committee summary corroborates that Torres's amendment passed committee, but only for members under review by the Ethics Committee, not all Members of Congress.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Torres did not achieve the full promised outcome of requiring all Members of Congress to complete workplace misconduct training in person. The available evidence shows she successfully passed a committee amendment to the FY2027 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill requiring in-person training only for Members with active, publicly disclosed House Ethics Committee investigations. The evidence also says she offered a broader amendment for all Members, but the corroborated committee-approved provision was the narrower version, and there is no evidence here that the broader requirement for all Members was adopted or enacted. Because she materially advanced a related but limited version of the promise during the same term, partial credit is warranted.
