End the Revolving Door: Ban all state legislators and statewide elected officials from becoming lobbyists for four years after they leave office.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): John James’s current gubernatorial policy agenda still includes the exact four-year lobbying ban pledge, which indicates the commitment remains an active promise rather than something delivered in office.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown

The available evidence shows this four-year lobbying ban remains on John James's active policy agenda rather than a completed outcome. There is no evidence here that he enacted, sponsored to passage, or materially advanced a law imposing this ban, and his current federal office does not itself show delivery of this state-level promise. On this record, the promise cannot be scored as fulfilled or partially delivered.
