Evidence

"Ending Corporate Personhood. Like many Americans, I was outraged to read the Supreme Court's decision in F.E.C. v. Citizens United. Corporations are not people, and they do not deserve the same Constitutional protections as American citizens. I do not believe corporations should be able to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence our elections. One solution is to amend the United States Constitution to overturn Citizens United and clearly state that corporations are not people and that spending money is not the same thing as speech. Those distinctions are necessary to avoid corruption, by limiting the role money plays in elections."

Her official House issue page still states support for amending the Constitution to overturn Citizens United and reject corporate personhood / money-as-speech. This is an ongoing position, not evidence of enactment.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The promised outcome was to support and achieve a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United and declaring that corporations are not people and money is not speech. No such amendment has been adopted into the U.S. Constitution. The evidence shows Schakowsky publicly supported the amendment position while serving in federal office, which is a serious policy stance and likely legislative effort, but the promised constitutional change has not been delivered.
