Rose framed the pledge as something he would do as Tennessee governor, but he did not win the 2026 Republican gubernatorial primary. The evidence does not show that he delivered a concrete Tennessee religious-freedom protection through his federal office or another material action tied to the promised outcome. Because the promised gubernatorial route was blocked and the claim was broad campaign rhetoric rather than a serious failed legislative or executive effort, it is not fulfilled and does not merit an effort badge.
