Assessments
Turner directly fulfilled the promise by sponsoring and introducing H.R. 9166, the Student Loan Refinancing Act of 2026, on June 4, 2026. The bill text matches the promised substance by creating a federal program for eligible borrowers to refinance federal student loans within the federal student loan system. Because the promise was to introduce legislation, not secure enactment, introduction in the same federal term counts as delivered.
