Assessments
Britt promised to support and work to advance legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. During her current Senate term, she introduced S. 4620, the Mandatory E-Verify Act of 2026, which directly matches the substance of the promise by permanently reauthorizing or establishing E-Verify and requiring all U.S. employers to use it. The bill’s committee status means the policy was not enacted, but the stated campaign commitment was legislative support and advancement, which her sponsorship and public advocacy satisfy.
The promise was to support and work to advance E-Verify legislation, not to personally secure final enactment. Evidence from Sen. Britt's official Senate issue page shows she cosponsored the Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act, a bill aligned with permanently reauthorizing E-Verify and requiring employer use, and states she is continuing to work with colleagues on those efforts. That is direct legislative support and advancement activity during her current Senate term, so the promise is best scored as delivered in the same term.
