Evidence
On February 27, 2026, Senators Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) and Katie Britt (R-Ala.) introduced the bipartisan Women's Heart Health Expansion Act to reauthorize and expand access to the CDC's WISEWOMAN program, which provides free cardiovascular risk screenings to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women aged 35–64.
On February 9, 2026, Representative Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio-03) introduced H.R.7417, the Women's Heart Health Expansion Act of 2026, in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill aims to amend the Public Health Service Act to reauthorize the WISEWOMAN program.
On March 19, 2026, during a Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing, Senator Alsobrooks spoke about her bipartisan Women's Heart Health Expansion Act, urging for a vote on the legislation.
Assessments
Alsobrooks materially supported the promise in her current Senate term by introducing the bipartisan Women's Heart Health Expansion Act with Senator Britt on February 27, 2026 and later urging a HELP Committee vote. However, the evidence shows introduction and advocacy only, not enactment or actual reauthorization and expansion of CDC's WISEWOMAN program. Because the promised policy outcome has not been delivered but she made a serious legislative attempt, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
Senator Alsobrooks introduced and actively advocated for the Women's Heart Health Expansion Act, making a clear legislative attempt to deliver on the campaign promise to reauthorize and broaden the CDC's WISEWOMAN program. However, the available evidence does not indicate that the legislation has been enacted into law. The actions taken—bill introduction and public advocacy—reflect substantial effort, but since the core outcome (law enactment) has not occurred, this is rated as 'partial' fulfillment.
