Congress.gov lists Rep. Lisa C. McClain as a cosponsor of H.R.3369, the Broadband for Rural America Act, on 2021-07-21. The bill summary says it would modify USDA programs for expanding broadband internet in rural areas, including grants, loans, and loan guarantees for rural broadband expansion. The bill remained at introduced status after referral to subcommittee.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): McClain took concrete legislative action in her first House term by cosponsoring a rural broadband expansion bill, but that bill did not become law.

Congress.gov says H.R.1752, the E-BRIDGE Act, passed the House on 2024-03-11 by 375-20. The CRS summary says the bill would authorize Commerce Department economic development grants for public-private partnerships and consortiums to carry out broadband projects to provide, extend, expand, or improve high-speed broadband service. The related House roll call shows McClain voted Yea, but the bill was later referred to the Senate and did not become law in that Congress.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): McClain later voted for a House-passed rural internet/broadband grant bill, showing continued support, but enactment was not completed.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. unknown A for effort

McClain took concrete federal legislative steps supporting rural broadband expansion, including cosponsoring H.R.3369 in the 117th Congress and voting for H.R.1752 in the 118th Congress. But neither measure became law, and the evidence does not show that the promised outcome of equipping every American home with broadband internet was delivered through her actions. This qualifies as a serious effort without fulfillment.
