Latest Action: House - 02/10/2026 Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 419. Sponsor: Rep. Harris, Mark [R-NC-8] (Introduced 12/03/2025). Committees: House - Education and Workforce.
Assessments
Harris has taken concrete same-term action aligned with the promise by sponsoring H.R. 6392, the Home School Graduation Recognition Act, and advancing it through committee to the Union Calendar. That supports candidate credit for fighting for broader educational opportunities and flexibility. However, the bill had not become law by the assessment window, and the evidence shows continued advocacy rather than full implementation of the promised policy outcome.
Harris maintained the promised education agenda in office and introduced H.R. 6392, a concrete bill aligned with local flexibility, homeschool recognition, and broader educational opportunities. The bill advanced out of committee in the same term, showing meaningful legislative effort, but it had not become law by the assessment date and the broader policy outcome was not fully delivered.
