Evidence

"I am proud to support this resolution as a first step toward helping get our country back on track."
The office page directs constituents to legislation sponsored and co-sponsored by Congressman Knott and to House roll call votes, but the captured page does not show a balanced budget amendment sponsorship or vote.
The current official House homepage, crawled 6 days ago, lists recent news items such as a farm bill statement and passport casework, but shows no balanced-budget-amendment action or related statement on the front page.
As of the June 19, 2026 crawl, the official homepage's visible "Latest News" block tops out at April 30, 2026 and lists only a farm bill post, a roads-and-supply-chains bill, and passport casework. No balanced-budget-amendment action or statement appears in the current front-page news block.
Assessments
The promise is to support a balanced budget amendment, not necessarily to pass one. The campaign site clearly states that position, but that is the promise itself rather than evidence of follow-through in office. In the available official congressional evidence, there is no shown sponsorship, cosponsorship, floor vote, or official statement by Rep. Knott specifically backing a balanced budget constitutional amendment. His 2025 statement supporting a House budget resolution is related fiscal policy, but it is not the amendment promised. Because the record provided does not establish clear in-office delivery and also does not prove he rejected or abandoned the promise, the most defensible judgment is unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.
The promise was to support a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, not merely to express campaign support for one. The record provided shows Knott made the promise and later supported a related House budget resolution, which is fiscal-policy follow-through but not the constitutional amendment itself. There is no evidence that a balanced budget amendment passed, that Knott sponsored or cosponsored such an amendment, or that he cast a decisive vote for it during his federal term. Because he took a related public legislative position but did not deliver the promised amendment outcome, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
The promise was to support a balanced budget amendment, not necessarily to enact one. Knott's campaign materials directly state support for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, matching the claim. Available evidence does not show passage or sponsorship of such an amendment, but enactment was not the promised outcome. His later support for a House budget resolution is related fiscal activity but not necessary to satisfy the narrower support pledge.
