Congress.gov shows Ogles introduced H.Res. 174 on February 27, 2025, impeaching Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary and the latest action remains referral; the tracker shows the measure as Introduced.

He took a concrete checks-and-balances action by filing an impeachment resolution, but it did not advance into law or final House action.

Congress.gov shows Ogles introduced H.R. 2659 on April 7, 2025. The bill creates an interagency task force and reporting requirements on Chinese state-sponsored cyber threats. Congress.gov also shows the House passed the bill on November 17, 2025, but the latest action is Senate referral on November 18, 2025.

This is a substantive legislative effort tied to limiting threats to American sovereignty and security, and it cleared the House but had not become law by the latest action shown.

The actions page for H.R. 1088 shows only introduction and referral on February 6, 2025, with no later legislative movement listed in the record snapshot.

The sovereignty-branded bill did not move beyond initial committee referral, which weighs against a conclusion that the promise was fully delivered.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

The promise was broad but outcome-oriented: end federal encroachment on Tennessee sovereignty and restore checks and balances. The evidence shows Ogles made several serious legislative or congressional attempts during the same term, including sovereignty-themed legislation and impeachment resolutions, but the cited measures either stalled at referral or, in one case, passed only the House and had not become law. Because the promised outcome was not actually achieved, but there was meaningful effort, the correct classification is never with an effort badge.
