One of our first acts is going to be to make sure we pass the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Amendment Act so we can end the era of voter suppression in America once and for all.

Jeffries committed that, if Democrats take back the majority after the 2026 elections, passing the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Amendment Act will be one of their first actions.

Evidence

“There are a lot of things on the table that could be fighting back I mean, of course there would be fighting, passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.”

Jeffries publicly reaffirmed support for the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act within the lookback window, but this was a statement of intent and not evidence of enactment, chamber passage, or other legislative delivery.

“We’ve got to, for instance, make sure we pass the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act so we can end the era of voter suppression in the United States of America once and for all.”

Jeffries again endorsed passage during the lookback window, showing ongoing advocacy. The statement does not show legislative success or final action, so the commitment remains unresolved.

Congress.gov hosts the text of H.R. 14, indicating the bill exists in the 119th Congress, but the source excerpt available here does not show enactment into law or final passage during the lookback window.

The bill is active enough to have official congressional text, but this is not evidence that it was passed or signed as of the assessment date.

“Congressman Jared Golden (ME-02) today reintroduced the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act along with other lawmakers in the House.”

An official House member press release confirms reintroduction of the bill in the current Congress, which is concrete legislative effort, but not delivery of the promised outcome.

The promise was to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement/Amendment Act. The evidence shows Jeffries repeatedly advocated for passage and that the bill was reintroduced in the 119th Congress, demonstrating a serious ongoing legislative effort. But the record provided does not show final congressional passage or enactment into law. Because the promised outcome is specific and unmet, this is best judged as never delivered rather than unresolved, while crediting substantial effort.
