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.
