But the work does not stop there. We must ensure worker protections keep pace.
Will ensure worker protections keep pace with increased mining productivity.

Evidence
Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) released the following statement after the House passed H.R. 7726, Stop Child Care Scams Act—legislation that cracks down on fraud, strengthens oversight, and protects taxpayer dollars in federal child care assistance programs.
Congress should be empowering American workers to make their own decisions about how best to earn a living for their unique situation. However, many of our workforce laws are not keeping pace with the changing workforce demands. I continue to work toward advancing a bold, pro-growth agenda that reduces the regulatory burden on small businesses, strengthens the economy and provides more freedom and flexibility to workers.
Assessments
The provided record does not show Walberg delivering, sponsoring, or materially advancing a mining-specific worker-protection measure that can be tied to the promise. The cited evidence is workforce-adjacent but unrelated to mining protections, and his general workforce messaging is too broad to count as fulfillment. Because the evidence supplied does not establish either a concrete delivered outcome or a serious failed attempt on this specific promise, the claim is best scored as unresolved.
