Occurrences
Evidence
Congressman Deluzio’s first plan in his Defend Democracy Agenda focuses on earning public trust by strengthening congressional ethics, increasing transparency, and fighting back against the corrupting force of big money in politics. The release says the plan aims at fixing the broken campaign finance system and fighting corruption in Congress.
Congress.gov shows Rep. Deluzio introduced H.R. 3680, the No Corporate Crooks Act, on June 3, 2025, and that the bill was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The tracker status is 'Introduced.'
Deluzio joined the 'End Corruption Now' agenda, which says it targets conflicts of interest and seeks to stop the selling of access and influence, including banning Members of Congress from trading stocks or becoming lobbyists and strengthening anti-corruption laws. The release says Deluzio introduced the No Corporate Crooks Act as part of that agenda.
Assessments
Deluzio publicly advanced the promised agenda and sponsored related anti-corruption legislation, including H.R. 3680, the No Corporate Crooks Act. However, the cited bill was only introduced and referred to committee, and the evidence does not show enacted congressional ethics, transparency, campaign finance, or anti-corruption reforms attributable to him. This qualifies as a serious legislative effort during his term, but not delivery of the promised outcome.

However, the cited bill remained only introduced and referred to committee, and the evidence does not show enacted congressional ethics, transparency, anti-corruption, or campaign finance reforms attributable to him. This supports serious effort but not delivery of the promised outcome.
