The promise was to introduce legislation, not necessarily secure enactment. Capito publicly reintroduced the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026 on May 28, 2026, describing it as legislation to prevent government-wide shutdowns and keep Congress in Washington until appropriations work is complete. That directly satisfies the promised federal legislative action during her current Senate term.

The promise was to introduce legislation aimed at preventing government shutdowns and requiring Congress to remain in Washington until appropriations work is finished. Evidence shows Capito publicly announced on May 28, 2026 that she reintroduced the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026 with those stated purposes. Because the promised action was legislative introduction rather than final enactment, this satisfies the commitment, and it occurred during her current Senate term.
