Brecheen introduced his anti-Pride bill in the 118th Congress, but it did not advance beyond introduction and committee referral.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Brecheen materially pursued the promise by sponsoring the Patriotism Not Pride Act in both the 118th Congress (H.R. 4398, introduced June 30, 2023) and again in the 119th Congress (H.R. 4021, introduced June 17, 2025). But neither bill advanced beyond committee referral, and there is no evidence the promised federal prohibitions were enacted through legislation or executive action attributable to him. Under the federal office standard, this is a serious legislative attempt that failed to deliver the promised outcome.
