Wilson materially advanced the promised legislation in the same federal term by joining H.R. 10076 as an original cosponsor, and the bill matched the stated sanctions goals for Russian oil and gas purchasers and Iran energy/weapons-sector funding. However, as of August 21, 2026, the bill had only been introduced and referred to committees, with no evidence of enactment or implemented sanctions, so the full policy outcome was not delivered.
