Evidence

Official campaign/office material states the exact promise and ties it to his defense policy stance.

On September 10, 2025, the House passed the Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution and Delivery and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, and the roll call shows Womack voted No on final passage after the measure had advanced through earlier votes that day.

The record shows engagement with the FY2026 NDAA process, but his final-passage vote alone does not establish successful delivery of the broad promise.

Assessments

partial same_term

The promise is broad and ongoing rather than a discrete deliverable. Womack remained in federal office after the 2016 campaign, served on Appropriations including the Defense subcommittee, and supported at least one major defense authorization measure, which shows relevant same-term action toward ensuring military resources. However, the evidence does not show that he personally authored, sponsored, or materially secured a specific completed outcome sufficient to treat the whole promise as delivered, and later mixed NDAA voting further limits a full-delivery finding.
