What the record shows · Jan 5, 2025

Each checks out as described. She cosponsored H.R. 663, which became Public Law 118-160 on December 23, 2024; H.R. 5110, which became Public Law 118-17 on October 6, 2023; and H.R. 82, which became Public Law 118-273 on January 5, 2025, after she voted Yea on its House passage. The Range Access Act she cosponsored, H.R. 1614, stopped in subcommittee, but the same text is section 123 of the EXPLORE Act, Public Law 118-234 of January 4, 2025, which she cosponsored from its introduction. The Strengthening Tribal Families Act she cosponsored, H.R. 3461, stopped in subcommittee; provisions to the same end, in modified form, are in the Supporting America's Children and Families Act, Public Law 118-258 of January 4, 2025, which she voted for. On House passage of the first two, the Clerk records her as Not Voting.

Limit: Cosponsoring is signing on to a bill, not writing it, and the campaign says “co-sponsored”, which is accurate for all five. Two of them reached law inside other bills, as the campaign says; the enacted tribal-families provisions follow the purpose of the bill she signed but are not identical to it. She did not vote when the first two passed the House.
