Assessments
The promise was to introduce a Congressional Review Act resolution targeting the Department of Education's finalized student loan rule. Official legislative evidence shows H.J. Res. 155 was introduced in the House on April 9, 2026, and Suzanne Bonamici is listed as a cosponsor. The resolution text matches the promised action: a CRA disapproval resolution aimed at the Department of Education Direct Loan rule. Because the promise was specifically to introduce the resolution, not to pass it or successfully repeal the rule, the introduction fulfills the commitment. This occurred during the same term.
