Evidence
McBath said, "I was proud to vote yes on H.R. 1, the For the People Act," and said the package would "ensure transparency in government, and end the era of dark money in politics."
House Roll Call 107 shows the resolution providing for consideration of H.R. 1, the For the People Act, passed 232-192.
The enrolled House text states H.R. 1 was "To expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and strengthen ethics rules for public servants." It also organized the bill into a "Campaign Finance" division.
McBath's office said her campaign and election reform work included co-sponsoring H.R. 1, described as a "comprehensive government reform measure to address the influence of dark, special interest money in politics" and H.R. 2977, the DISCLOSE Act, which adds disclosure requirements for corporations, labor organizations, and Super PACs.
"Today, we passed a historic democracy reform package to strengthen voting rights, ensure transparency in government, and end the era of dark money in politics. I was proud to vote yes on H.R. 1, the For the People Act..."
The bill summary states: "This bill addresses voter access, election integrity, election security, political spending, and ethics for the three branches of government."
The cosponsors list includes "Rep. McBath, Lucy [D-GA-6] | 01/09/2019".
The roll call page shows the House vote on the resolution providing for consideration of H.R. 1 passed on March 6, 2019.
Assessments
McBath promised to support legislation increasing campaign-finance transparency and opposing dark money, not necessarily to secure final enactment. In her first House term after the 2018 federal campaign, she cosponsored H.R. 1, the For the People Act, voted for its House passage, and publicly described it as addressing transparency and dark money. She also backed the DISCLOSE Act, which directly targeted disclosure for corporations, labor organizations, and Super PACs. That satisfies the promised support within the same term.
McBath promised to support campaign finance transparency legislation and oppose dark money. During the same term, she voted for H.R. 1, publicly framed it as ending dark money, and her office cited co-sponsorship/support for H.R. 1 and the DISCLOSE Act, both directly tied to disclosure and reducing dark-money influence. Because the promise was to support such legislation, not necessarily secure final enactment, the promised action was fulfilled.
