Axios reported that Mark Kelly, J.D. Vance, and Tom Cotton were introducing bipartisan legislation to address the shortage of shovel-ready manufacturing sites and reduce site-preparation barriers.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Concrete legislative action in the manufacturing-expansion lane. This is only an indirect fit for the workforce promise, so I treat it as partial progress rather than a direct fulfillment.

Politico said Kelly was a co-sponsor of the Building Chips in America Act, which aimed to speed chip manufacturing by easing NEPA reviews and had already cleared Congress by the time of publication.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Kelly continued to back semiconductor-manufacturing legislation. That shows sustained action toward the broader chip-expansion goal, but it still does not prove a workforce-specific bill, so I count it as partial.

Kelly did take concrete legislative action on semiconductor-related supply-chain and manufacturing barriers, including co-sponsoring the Building Chips in America Act and joining bipartisan site-preparation legislation. But the evidence does not show that he introduced or enacted a workforce-specific bill that directly boosted the microchip manufacturing labor pool, so this is partial rather than full delivery.
