Senator Reverend Warnock has long fought to protect the voting rights of Georgians, including introducing legislation to restore critical safeguards of the original Voting Rights Act and to ban gerrymandering. He said, “We’re going to show up not just in November, but in the months leading to November.”

GovInfo lists S. 1 in the 118th Congress as the Freedom to Vote Act. The action states that Sen. Klobuchar introduced the bill with Raphael G. Warnock among the named cosponsors, and that it was read twice and referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration.

Warnock's Senate office said he led a bicameral group of federal lawmakers in reintroducing the Freedom to Vote Act, joined colleagues for a news conference, and said he was proud to reintroduce the bill and would not stop pushing until Congress passed voting rights legislation.
Assessments
The promise was specifically to work to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, not necessarily to secure enactment. During Warnock's Senate term, official bill records and his Senate office indicate he cosponsored and helped lead reintroduction of the Freedom to Vote Act, plus continued public and Senate advocacy for voting-rights legislation. The Act was referred to committee and did not become law, but the candidate materially advanced the promised effort in the relevant federal office context.
The promise was framed as working to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, not guaranteeing enactment. Warnock materially acted on that commitment during his Senate term by introducing/cosponsoring the Freedom to Vote Act, speaking on the Senate floor for it, urging colleagues to support it, and continuing voting-rights advocacy. The Act itself has not become law, so this would not count as delivery of an enactment promise, but it does satisfy the narrower promise to work to pass it.
