Evidence

The official homepage's Featured News section shows recent items dated May 20, May 1, and April 28 about Selfridge funding, state funding, pesticide liability, and a vehicle kill switch; no taxpayer-funded-lobbying action appears in the current snapshot.

Official site snapshot shows recent same-term activity, but nothing concrete on banning taxpayer-funded lobbying during the lookback window.

The sponsored-bills page is live on the official House site, but the static capture exposes only a 'View CONGRESS.GOV in a new window' link and no visible bill titles or recent lobbying-ban legislation.

No visible sponsored bill evidence in the official snapshot confirms delivery or even a recent serious legislative attempt on this claim.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

John James is still serving in federal office, so this promise should be judged against what he has delivered or materially advanced during his current term. The provided evidence shows no enacted ban, no identified sponsored measure, and no clear serious legislative or executive push tied to banning taxpayer-funded lobbying expenditures by public entities. Because the term is ongoing and the record here is mainly an absence of confirming evidence rather than proof of final failure, the safest judgment is unresolved rather than never.
