Assessments
Stansbury materially supported the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act by joining H.R.14 as an original cosponsor in the 119th Congress. However, the House bill remains at introduction/referral and the Senate companion likewise has not advanced to passage or enactment. Because she is still serving and the legislation remains pending, the promise is not delivered but is not a final failure.
