Whitesides personally sponsored H.R. 9449, the Global Climate Resilience Act of 2026, during his current House term. The bill text and his office's release specifically call for U.S. advocacy through international financial institutions for an international climate insurance program. Because the promise was to advocate for the program rather than to enact or implement it, introducing and publicly advancing legislation that directly contains that advocacy satisfies the commitment in the same federal term.
