Ensure that public and private investments in infrastructure, education, renewable energy, and electric vehicles go to companies with union workforces.

In Congress, I will fight to ensure that the investments we make in infrastructure, expanded public education, renewable energy, and electric vehicles and batteries – like those that will be made in the proposed Ford plant in Hardin County – go to companies with union workforces.

Commits to directing major investment spending toward companies that employ union labor.

McGarvey's campaign issues page said he supported federal spending and tax incentives to expand renewable energy, infrastructure spending for electric vehicles, and tax incentives for union-made and American-made electric vehicles.

This establishes the campaign-side commitment most directly tied to clean-energy and EV investments benefiting union labor, though the page frames it as support for incentives rather than a fully specified legislative mechanism requiring all public and private investments to go to unionized firms.

EO 14063 required agencies, for large-scale federal construction projects of $35 million or more, to require contractors and subcontractors to negotiate or become party to a project labor agreement, with exceptions allowed.

A federal project-labor-agreement policy existed before McGarvey took office. It partially overlaps with the promise for large federal construction contracts, but it was not enacted by McGarvey, did not cover private investment broadly, and did not ensure infrastructure, education, renewable energy, and EV investments generally went to companies with union workforces.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Morgan McGarvey [D-KY-3] as an original cosponsor on 02/28/2023. The bill's latest action was referral to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and the tracker status was Introduced.

McGarvey took concrete pro-union legislative action in his first House term by cosponsoring the PRO Act, but the bill did not pass or become law in the 118th Congress. This supports an effort badge but not fulfillment of the spending-allocation promise.

The bill text would amend federal labor law, including provisions on representatives and elections, fair share agreements, the right to strike, and a GAO study on workers' capacity to form unions and collectively bargain.

The PRO Act was relevant to strengthening union workforces generally, but it was not a targeted requirement that infrastructure, education, renewable energy, or EV investments be awarded to unionized companies, and it remained only introduced in the House.

Congress.gov lists Rep. Morgan McGarvey [D-KY-3] as an original cosponsor on 03/05/2025. The bill's latest action was referral to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, and the tracker status was Introduced.

McGarvey again advanced concrete pro-union legislation in the next Congress, but as of the evidence date it had not advanced beyond introduction and therefore did not fulfill the promise.

Public Law 119-21 included Chapter 5, 'Termination of Green New Deal Subsidies.' It terminated the clean vehicle credit for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, the commercial clean vehicle credit after September 30, 2025, and the alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit after June 30, 2026.

Rather than enacting new union-workforce conditions on EV or renewable-energy investments, later federal law curtailed several clean vehicle and clean energy subsidies. This weighs against fulfillment as of July 2, 2026.

The IRS says the New Clean Vehicle Credit is not available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. Listed qualification criteria include battery capacity, qualified manufacturer, final assembly in North America, and critical mineral and battery component requirements.

Current IRS guidance shows the clean vehicle credit ended after September 30, 2025 and, while it existed, used domestic assembly and battery-content requirements rather than a union-workforce requirement. This supports a finding that the EV portion of the promise was not delivered.

The Clerk recorded H.R. 1 passing on July 3, 2025 by 218 ayes to 214 noes on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment; the party table shows Democrats with 0 ayes and 212 noes.

The final House vote enacted the later law that terminated or curtailed clean vehicle and clean energy credits. The roll call supports the legislative-result evidence; it does not show fulfillment of McGarvey's union-investment promise.
