Assessments
In federal context, this promise required enacted national labor legislation. The evidence shows Lucy McBath cosponsored both a minimum-wage increase bill (Raise the Wage Act of 2023) and a worker-organizing bill (the PRO Act of 2025), which is meaningful support for the promised goals. But both measures stalled after introduction and did not become law, so the promised outcome was not delivered. Because she at least materially supported serious legislative efforts while in office, this counts as a failed attempt rather than inaction.
