Hayes promised to introduce legislation creating the Educational Equity Challenge Grant Act of 2026. Primary evidence shows she sponsored and introduced H.R. 8263 on April 14, 2026, titled the Educational Equity Challenge Grant Act of 2026, with the described Department of Education ten-year grant program. Because the promise was specifically to introduce legislation, not enact it, introduction satisfies the promised outcome during her current federal term.
