Support legislation to permanently reauthorize E-Verify and require all employers in the United States to use it.
Occurrences
Capito joined colleagues to reintroduce the Mandatory E-Verify Act of 2026, which would permanently reauthorize E-Verify and require its use by all U.S. employers.
Evidence
Capito joined the reintroduction of the Mandatory E-Verify Act of 2026, which would permanently reauthorize E-Verify and require all employers to use it.
Capito's Senate office reported that she joined Sen. Katie Britt and colleagues in reintroducing the Mandatory E-Verify Act of 2026, a bill to permanently reauthorize E-Verify and require all U.S. employers to use it. The release listed Capito among the legislation's cosponsors.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. Capito joined/cosponsored the Mandatory E-Verify Act of 2026, which directly matches the promised policy by permanently reauthorizing E-Verify and requiring all U.S. employers to use it. That legislative support occurred while she was serving in federal office, so it counts as delivered in the same term even though the bill had not become law.
The promise was to support legislation, not to ensure final enactment. In May 2026, as a sitting U.S. senator, Shelley Moore Capito joined the reintroduction of the Mandatory E-Verify Act of 2026, which directly matches the commitment to permanently reauthorize E-Verify and require nationwide employer use. That sponsorship/support action satisfies the promise within her current term even though the bill had not yet become law.
