The promise was specifically to introduce a resolution denouncing the Obama Administration's coercion of states into adopting Common Core and opposing federal preferences tied to adoption. The evidence shows Graham sponsored and introduced S.Res.345 on February 6, 2014, with the same substance. Because the promised action was introduction, not enactment, formal introduction satisfies the claim in the same Senate term/campaign context.

Graham promised to introduce a resolution denouncing federal coercion tied to Common Core adoption. The official legislative record shows he sponsored and introduced S.Res.345 on February 6, 2014, with substantially the same title and purpose, and the Congressional Record confirms formal submission and referral. Because the promised action was introduction of the resolution, not enactment, the outcome was fulfilled in the relevant Senate/campaign context.
