Assessments
The promise was to support reintroducing the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026, not to enact it. Official Senate-office evidence shows Katie Britt publicly endorsed and joined the bill's June 1, 2026 reintroduction as a Senate cosponsor. That satisfies the promised action during her current Senate term.
Official Senate and campaign-office evidence shows Britt joined the June 1, 2026 reintroduction of the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026 as a cosponsor. The claim is about supporting reintroduction of that bill, which was accomplished in her current Senate term even though the legislation itself was not enacted.
