"I believe that we the people would want to see a 15 percent raise for the TSA officers who serve us with great distinction across the length and breadth of our country. This bill has been filed. I filed this bill just recently on April 17. Again, it is H.R. 8411. It is a bill 'To increase the annual rate of basic pay for career employees of the Transportation Security Agency, and for other purposes.' And I will add now to increase that pay to 15 percent."

Assessments
The verified commitment concerns Green's legislation to increase TSA career employees' basic pay by 15 percent. Verified evidence shows Green introduced H.R. 8411 and that the bill text contains the 15 percent increase, so there is documented material effort attributable to him. But verified evidence also shows the bill was only referred to subcommittee and had no voting records; there is no verified enactment or implemented pay increase as of 2026-09-18. With no deadline expired and the proposal still not enacted, the outcome is unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
Al Green materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 8411 in April 2026 and publicly advocating a 15 percent TSA pay increase. But the evidence only shows introduction and referral to committee, not passage, enactment, or an implemented 15 percent raise. Because he is still in office and the proposal remains pending rather than conclusively failed or delivered, the promise is best scored as unresolved.
Al Green introduced H.R. 8411 in April 2026 to increase TSA career employees' basic pay by 15 percent and advocated for it on the House floor. The evidence shows a serious legislative attempt, but the bill had only been referred to committee and there is no evidence it was enacted or that the pay increase took effect. Under the standard, a serious failed legislative attempt is scored as never with an effort badge.
