Evidence

Sherman’s office said that, in response to TSA workers not being paid, he announced he had requested his own congressional salary be withheld until TSA workers receive their pay.

Official congressional press release documents that Sherman made the salary-withholding request, which is the core claimed action.

House Appropriations Democrats said the administration decided to stop withholding TSA paychecks after 41 days and would pay TSA workers, indicating the condition Sherman tied to his salary request was resolved shortly after he made it.

Official committee statement shows TSA workers were subsequently paid, closing the loop on Sherman’s condition-based request.

The promise was an action claim: Sherman said he had requested that his congressional salary be withheld until TSA workers were paid. The provided official congressional press release documents that he made that request during his current House term, satisfying the core promise. The later resolution of TSA pay supports that the condition was addressed, but the promised deliverable was the salary-withholding request itself, not independently securing TSA paychecks.
