The official homepage’s latest-news section in the lookback window highlights a June 4, 2026 article on campaign finance reform and a June 3, 2026 town hall, not any statehood or new-state procedural action.

Inference from the official homepage: Barrett’s current public-facing congressional activity in the last lookback window is focused on campaign finance and constituent outreach, with no concrete sign of the promised two-thirds new-state supermajority push.

Recent official press releases include June 2 items on the COVID-19 Military Mandate Transparency Act, veterans-benefits legislation, and road funding; none show a new-state or supermajority amendment effort.

Inference from the press-release feed: Barrett was actively advancing other bills in the lookback window, but I found no official record of delivery, partial delivery, or blocking on the specific state-admission supermajority promise.
