Evidence

Rouzer said the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is making steady progress on a surface transportation reauthorization package and that the committee is working on a bill that will reduce bureaucratic delays and cut waste. He also said the committee aims to prioritize core formula programs, flexibility, and efficiency.

Recent official statement shows Rouzer actively promoting spending restraint and waste reduction, but it is about transportation reauthorization rather than a balanced budget amendment.

Rouzer supported the House budget resolution, which his office said took 'the first step to cut fraud, waste and abuse from the federal budget' and included $1.5 trillion in mandatory savings over 10 years.

Official House-office release documents Rouzer voting for a budget resolution with major savings, which supports the spending-cut part of the claim but not a completed balanced budget amendment.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Rouzer has taken same-term actions consistent with the promise by supporting House budget measures framed as cutting waste and mandatory spending, and by promoting spending restraint in transportation policy. However, the evidence does not show that a balanced budget amendment was enacted, nor that federal spending was actually cut as a completed federal outcome. Because he made legislative/policy efforts toward the promised direction but the full promised outcome remains undelivered, partial credit is appropriate.
