The promise was to urge the Department of State to designate human rights violators for targeted Global Magnitsky Act sanctions. McGovern did that directly in an August 12, 2026 letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, asking for such designations. Because this occurred while he was serving in federal office, the timing is same_term.
