Assessments
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.
