Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

Congress.gov shows H.J.Res.54 was introduced Feb. 12, 2025, referred to Judiciary, and remains at the Introduced stage. The text would limit constitutional rights to natural persons and authorize regulation, limits, disclosure, and prohibitions on election contributions and expenditures.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Brown was an original cosponsor of a constitutional amendment aimed at corporate political spending and money-in-politics reforms, but the measure has not advanced beyond introduction, so it is not delivered.

Congress.gov lists H.R.3554 as introduced May 21, 2025, referred to Judiciary, with seven cosponsors; Brown is not listed among the cosponsors. The bill text creates a lifetime ban on Members of Congress lobbying after leaving office.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The available official record does not show Brown cosponsoring the pending House bill that most directly matches the promise to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, and the bill has not passed.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. later_term A for effort

Brown materially supported part of the pledge by serving as an original cosponsor of H.J.Res.54 in 2025, a proposed constitutional amendment addressing Citizens United and money-in-politics reforms. However, that measure remains only introduced, and the directly matching bill to impose a lifetime lobbying ban on former Members of Congress, H.R.3554, has not passed and does not list Brown as a cosponsor. Because only part of the bundled promise is supported and none of the promised policy outcomes has been enacted, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
