9/1 286 H.R. 6500 On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Concur in the Senate Amendments Yea Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Womack’s official vote record shows he voted yea on the September 1, 2026 House concurrence vote for the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027, a short-term funding measure. This is concrete later-term action related to maintaining federal operations, but it is not a full defense-specific delivery of the broad military-resourcing promise.
H.R. 6500, the “Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2027,” which includes a short-term continuing resolution that provides fiscal year 2027 appropriations to Federal agencies through December 11, 2026, for continuing projects and activities of the Federal Government
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The President signed the short-term continuing appropriations measure into law, providing temporary FY2027 funding for federal agencies through December 11, 2026. This supports only partial delivery because it is temporary government-wide funding, not a completed full-year defense authorization or appropriation attributable specifically to Womack.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): GovInfo’s official public-law text shows H.R. 7148 became Public Law 119-75 and included FY2026 Department of Defense appropriations, a concrete enacted defense-funding result. This supports only partial delivery of the broad promise because it is one annual funding law, not complete proof that Womack ensured all military needs were met.

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.
