Because the promised action was introduction, not enactment, this satisfies the claim during the same Senate term and campaign context.
Graham formally introduced S.Res.345 in the Senate on February 6, 2014, and the resolution text matches the claim by denouncing the Obama Administration's coercion of states into Common Core through federal grant and waiver preferences.
