Womack materially advanced the promised vehicle by introducing H.R. 9452, the Budgeting for a Better America Act, on June 24, 2026, and the bill's described contents match the promised reforms, including biennial budgeting, a bipartisan fiscal commission, fiscal transparency, and related governance reforms. However, the available official status shows the bill was only introduced and referred to the House Budget and Rules Committees, with no passage or enactment. Because the promise was to work to pass the reforms and the outcome has not passed, this is a failed serious legislative attempt rather than delivery.
