The promise was specifically to introduce legislation expanding the Work Opportunity Tax Credit for employers hiring veterans who completed free VA vocational training. The evidence shows Rep. Yvette D. Clarke sponsored and introduced H.R. 8786, the INVEST Act, in the 119th Congress on May 13, 2026, matching the promised legislative action. Because the promised action was introduction, not enactment, committee referral without passage does not prevent fulfillment.
