The promise was to introduce and support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. Heinrich introduced the Veteran Education Assistance Adjustment Act of 2026 with Banks and Duckworth during his current Senate term, and the bill specifically proposed increasing the annual books and supplies stipend for veterans to $1,500. The available record shows introduction and committee referral, which satisfies the stated campaign commitment even though enactment is not shown.
