Evidence

The House press release says Harrigan introduced the Continuity of Military Parents' Academic Schooling and State Standards (COMPASS) Act on June 16, 2026 to protect military homeschool families from conflicting state homeschooling laws when military orders require moves across state lines; it also says Ted Cruz is leading companion Senate legislation.

Official House source confirms Harrigan took concrete legislative action matching the promise, but the release shows introduction rather than enactment.

Military Times reports that Harrigan introduced the bill in the House on June 16 and that the proposal would keep military homeschool families from having to restart compliance under each new state's rules after PCS moves.

Independent reporting corroborates the House introduction and the bill's mechanism for shielding military homeschoolers from conflicting state rules.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Harrigan materially advanced the promised policy by introducing the COMPASS Act in the House on June 16, 2026, with a Senate companion led by Ted Cruz. That is a serious legislative effort closely matched to the promise, but the evidence shows introduction only, not enactment or an implemented federal protection. Under the rule for serious but unsuccessful attempts, this is best scored as never rather than partial delivery.
