Sponsored legislation to expand whistleblower protections for contractors.

Evidence

Congress.gov lists S.874 as Senator Gary Peters's bill to expand whistleblower protections for contractors. The bill page shows Peters introduced it on 2025-03-05, says its latest action was on 2025-12-09 when it was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders, and still shows the bill status as Introduced.

Concrete legislative action exists, but the bill was not enacted and the latest official action is well outside the 2026-05-16 to 2026-06-14 lookback window, so the promise is only partially delivered at best.

The bill text states that it is meant to ensure whistleblowers, including contractors, are protected from retaliation when a federal employee orders a reprisal. The text page shows it was introduced on 2025-03-05 and later reported by Senator Paul with an amendment on 2025-12-09.

This confirms the substance of the commitment and shows the measure advanced through committee, but it still did not become law.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Peters materially advanced the promise by introducing S.874 on March 5, 2025 to expand whistleblower protections for contractors, and the bill later advanced through committee and was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on December 9, 2025. But the official status remained introduced and it was not enacted, so the promised policy outcome was not delivered. Because he made a serious legislative effort without securing passage, this counts as never with an effort badge rather than partial or delivered.
