H.J.Res.139 was introduced on 2026-01-09 and later ordered to be reported by the Judiciary Committee on 2026-02-03.

Gosar's broad fiscal objective still had active legislative movement in the same Congress, but no enacted amendment resulted from it.

Congress.gov lists the bill's latest action as House Judiciary ordering it reported 16-10 on Feb. 3, 2026, and still shows the bill status as Introduced.

The balanced-budget amendment remained active in the 119th Congress, but it had not advanced to passage or enactment.

Assessments

delivered later_term

The promise was to continue fighting for a balanced budget amendment, not necessarily to secure ratification. Gosar took a concrete later-term action consistent with that pledge by voting for H.J.Res. 139 in the House on March 18, 2026. The amendment did not pass, but for an advocacy-style promise this documented support is sufficient to show he continued the effort. Because the cited action occurred after the specific 2013-2023 office term tied to the campaign context, the timing is later_term.

delivered later_term A for effort

The promise was framed as an effort commitment to continue fighting for a balanced budget amendment, not as a guarantee that the amendment would be enacted. Gosar is recorded supporting H.J.Res.139 in 2026, after the 2013-2023 Arizona 4th District office context from the 2012 campaign, so the delivery is credited to the same candidate but with later_term timing. The amendment did not pass, but his vote and the active legislative movement show he continued to advance the promised position.
