The official House website lists a May 20, 2026 press release saying a committee passed a bipartisan Olszewski-Wied bill to streamline contracting for small businesses.

Concrete legislative activity in the current term, but the item is about procurement efficiency rather than a direct transparency or accountability reform.

The official House website lists a May 20, 2026 press release saying the House passed legislation co-led by Olszewski to address the attainable housing shortage.

Another current-term legislative action, but it does not directly show progress on the transparency-and-accountability promise.

Olszewski's official House site says the Small Business Committee advanced the bipartisan Oversight and Transparency for Small Business Certifications Act of 2026, introduced by Olszewski and Tony Wied. The release says the bill requires more SBA reporting on certification processes, infrastructure, processing timelines, program participation, backlogs, and wait times.

Concrete current-term action directly tied to transparency and accountability, but at this point it had only cleared committee.

The official press-release listing states that the House passed Olszewski and Wied's Oversight and Transparency for Small Business Certifications Act of 2026 by voice vote and that the bill then headed to the Senate.

House passage of a transparency bill is stronger evidence of progress, but the record provided does not show final enactment by July 2, 2026.

Olszewski's official press-release listing says he led anti-corruption amendments aimed at preventing presidential self-enrichment during consideration of the budget reconciliation bill.

This is concrete anti-corruption legislative activity, but the available page excerpt does not establish that the amendments became law.

Olszewski announced the Reform of Bench Eligibility Act, a proposed constitutional amendment for 18-year Supreme Court terms. The release frames the proposal as addressing judicial ethics concerns, life tenure, and public confidence in the Court.

The ROBE Act is a concrete accountability reform proposal, but it was only an introduced/proposed constitutional amendment, not a delivered reform.

Olszewski's official Congress issues page says he helped launch the Federal Workforce Caucus to protect federal workers and strengthen a merit-based civil service from political interference.

Launching a caucus is relevant to government accountability and nonpartisan administration, but it is organizational effort rather than enacted transparency reform.

Olszewski said he would vote against short-term DHS funding unless ICE funding included accountability measures such as identification requirements, body-worn cameras, use-of-force standards, and protections for sensitive locations. He also said he would work for DHS and ICE oversight and reform.

This shows oversight-oriented use of a funding vote, but it does not show that the safeguards were enacted.

Olszewski called for passage of his SAFE Act, which his office says would bar federal employee terminations during shutdowns, reinstate wrongfully fired workers with back pay, and add legal protections against administrations exploiting shutdowns for mass layoffs. The release also says he earlier introduced a bill to reinstate certain DOGE-fired probationary federal employees.

The SAFE Act and DOGE-related reinstatement bill are concrete current-term actions concerning civil-service accountability, but there is no evidence here of enactment.

Olszewski's official Congress issues page lists a Maryland delegation release saying members pressed the Trump Administration for answers about the status of Maryland Army Corps infrastructure projects after a threat to withhold funding.

Pressing an administration for answers is an oversight action, but this excerpt does not show a completed transparency or accountability reform.

Olszewski's official votes page lists recent Nay votes on H.Res.1335 regarding government fraud and improper-payment reforms, H.R.8464 the Stopping Fraudulent Payments Act, and H.R.8312 the Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act.

The official vote table shows a mixed record on bills labeled as fraud or accountability measures, so it prevents scoring the broad promise as fully delivered on the current evidence alone.
