Her campaign says she introduced the Restoring Communities Left Behind Act to invest in urban and rural communities that have seen disinvestment.

“She has introduced the Restoring Communities Left Behind Act to invest in both urban and rural communities that have seen disinvestment over the years.”

Source: Marcy Kaptur for Congress

What the record shows · Feb 6, 2023

Congress.gov records her as the sponsor of the Restoring Communities Left Behind Act twice: H.R. 816 of the 117th Congress, introduced February 4, 2021, and H.R. 837 of the 118th, introduced February 6, 2023. Both were referred to the House Committee on Financial Services and neither went further.

Sources: Congress.gov, Congress.gov

Limit: The claim is that she introduced it, and she did, twice. Neither bill left committee, so nothing here shows the investment it describes reaching anyone.
