Evidence

March 4, 2026. Mr. Thompson of California (for himself and Mr. Moylan) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce. The bill is titled the Lowering Student Loans Act and amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to set interest rates for Federal student loans made on or after July 1, 2026, at 2 percent, and for other purposes.

This is concrete introduction evidence showing Moylan actively co-led the legislation promised in the claim, with the bill text matching the 2 percent cap and reduction concept.

U.S. Representatives Mike Thompson and James Moylan introduced the Lowering Student Loans Act. The release says the bill would establish a fixed 2 percent interest rate for all new Federal Direct Loans issued on or after July 1, 2026 and would automatically reduce the interest rate to 2 percent for existing Direct Loans currently carrying higher rates.

Official press release confirms Moylan publicly co-led the bill and that the proposal matches the claim's promised policy changes.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Moylan appears to have fulfilled the 'co-lead legislation' part of the promise by co-introducing the Lowering Student Loans Act with Rep. Mike Thompson in March 2026, and the bill text matches the promised policy of capping federal student loan interest at 2 percent and reducing higher existing rates. However, the evidence only shows introduction and referral to committee, not enactment or implementation of the policy outcome. Because he made a serious legislative attempt on the specific promise but did not yet deliver the policy itself, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
