Occurrences
Evidence
The page says McBride and Rep. Mike Lawler introduced the TANF Hygiene Access Act to create a five-year hygiene-access pilot for low-income families.
Congress.gov lists H.R.7367 as a bill to establish a demonstration pilot for low-income households accessing hygiene materials.
Congress.gov reports H.R.7367's latest action was referral to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and its tracker status is Introduced.
Congress.gov identifies Sarah McBride as Representative for Delaware At Large in the 119th Congress, 2025-present.
Assessments
McBride took a concrete same-term legislative step by serving as the original Democratic cosponsor of H.R.7367, the TANF Hygiene Access Act, which matches the promised five-year hygiene-access demonstration pilot. However, the bill's latest status is only introduced and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee; it has not passed Congress, become law, or established the pilot program. This is a serious effort but not delivery of the promised outcome.
