Assessments
The promised substantive outcome was an enacted increase/restoration of guaranteed Delphi pension benefits. Spartz materially pursued it by cosponsoring and voting for H.R.6929 in the 117th Congress and later sponsoring H.R.1895 plus submitting appropriations amendments, but the relevant bills and amendments did not become law or otherwise deliver the benefit increase. This warrants non-delivery with an effort badge, not partial or delivered credit.
Spartz cosponsored H.R.6929 and voted for its House passage in 2022, and the bill directly matched the promised Delphi retiree pension benefit increase. However, the measure was not enacted: it passed the House but only reached Senate receipt, while the Senate companion remained at committee referral. Because the promised benefit increase was not delivered despite a concrete legislative attempt during her House term, this is a failed delivery with effort credit.
