We must enact a Balanced Budget Amendment.
Support a Balanced Budget Amendment.

Evidence
Do you support a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, requiring that Congress balance the federal budget every year?
This is why I am an original cosponsor of H.J. Res. 113 which proposes an amendment to our Constitution requiring the federal government to balance the budget.

Assessments
The promise was to support a Balanced Budget Amendment, not necessarily to secure ratification or enactment. Huizenga publicly supported and cosponsored balanced budget amendment resolutions, including H.J.Res. 2 in 2011 and H.J.Res. 113 in 2024 during his federal House service. That satisfies the promised action within his term of office. Because cosponsorship and public advocacy are concrete legislative efforts, the effort badge is warranted.
Huizenga promised to support a Balanced Budget Amendment, and the evidence shows repeated affirmative support: he cosponsored H.J.Res. 2 in the 112th Congress and was an original cosponsor of H.J.Res. 113 in the 118th Congress, both proposing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Because the promise was to support the amendment rather than secure ratification or enactment, cosponsorship and public advocacy fulfill the stated commitment.
