Harshbarger took office in January 2021 and, during that same House term, cosponsored H.R. 3018, a federal bill to impose sanctions on senior Chinese Communist Party officials. Because the promise was framed as supporting a punitive China-related bill and additional sanctions, her cosponsorship satisfies the promised action even if the bill itself was not enacted.
