Rose promised to appoint tough-on-crime judges as governor, but he did not win the 2026 Tennessee gubernatorial primary and therefore never obtained the appointment authority needed to carry out the pledge. His current federal House office does not provide a comparable state judicial appointment power. Running for the office is not itself a legislative or executive delivery attempt, so the effort badge is not warranted.
