Assessments
The promise was to support legislation protecting workers' rights to organize and bargain collectively, not necessarily to enact the legislation. Stansbury cosponsored H.R. 20, the 2025 Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act, during her current House term. That is direct federal legislative support for the promised policy outcome, even though the bill had only been introduced and referred to committee.
