Assessments
The promise was to support congressional disapproval of the DOL Adverse Effect Wage Rate rule, not necessarily to secure final enactment. Espaillat fulfilled that support by cosponsoring H.J. Res. 154 in the 119th Congress on March 26, 2026, a Congressional Review Act disapproval resolution targeting that rule. Because he took the promised official action while serving in the same federal House term, this counts as delivered with same_term timing even though the resolution had only been referred to committee as of the cited record.
