Ban Members of Congress from trading stocks and becoming lobbyists
Angie Craig will support a ban on former members of Congress becoming lobbyists.
Occurrences
Evidence
The HUMBLE Act text amends 18 U.S.C. 207(e)(1) so that after leaving office a former Senator, Representative, or elected congressional officer may not knowingly make a communication or appearance before Congress on behalf of another person, which is a lifetime ban on lobbying Congress by former Members.
Craig states that she has introduced legislation that would impose a lifetime ban on lobbying for Members of Congress after their time in public service.
Assessments
The promise was to support a ban on former members of Congress becoming lobbyists, not necessarily to enact the ban. Craig introduced the HUMBLE Act, which would impose a lifetime lobbying ban on former Members of Congress, and her official House materials continue to state support for that policy. Because the promised action was support and she materially advanced legislation in office, this counts as delivered in the same federal term even though the ban has not been enacted.
