Assessments
The promise was to support legislation creating state-led talent marketplaces and portable learning records. Evidence shows Blake Moore co-led and publicly announced the MATCH Act in 2026, and the bill text includes those exact workforce-modernization provisions. Because the claim is about supporting the legislation rather than enacting it into law, Moore's sponsorship and promotion of the bill satisfy the promise within his current term.
