The promise was to work to advance the bipartisan Protect College Sports Act, not to guarantee final enactment. In his current federal term, Baumgartner introduced the House companion bill on June 4, 2026 and publicly committed to advancing it with colleagues in both chambers. The broader legislative push also moved forward when the Senate version cleared the Senate Commerce Committee on June 18, 2026. That combination shows concrete, on-the-record action by Baumgartner to advance the measure during the same term, which satisfies this process-oriented promise.
