Ernst materially pursued the promised federal Proposition 12 fix by sponsoring S. 1326, the Food Security and Farm Protection Act, and continuing to push for inclusion in farm bill negotiations. But the promised outcome was to secure a federal fix, and the available record shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, while Ernst's August 6, 2026 statement described the fix as still ongoing after a farm bill setback. No enacted federal fix is shown, so this is a failed delivery with a serious legislative effort.
