Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Recent official messaging did not show a new campaign-finance or anti-big-money action during the lookback window, so the promise remains unresolved rather than delivered.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. unknown A for effort

The promised federal outcome, getting big money out of politics, has not been delivered: no major federal campaign-finance reform, public financing system, DISCLOSE-style transparency law, or constitutional change reversing the current big-money framework has been enacted. The provided 2026 evidence also shows no recent Tonko action or passed measure in the lookback window. However, in federal office Tonko has supported democracy and campaign-finance reform efforts, so this qualifies as a failed serious effort rather than no effort.
