In Congress, I’m fighting back against corruption and for comprehensive campaign finance reform that ends Citizens United and puts campaigns back into the hands of the people is a necessary step to rebuilding our democracy.
Pursue comprehensive campaign finance reform that ends Citizens United.
Occurrences
Building a real democracy means ending Citizens United, banning dark money, and restoring trust in a political system that’s too often sold to the highest bidder.
Rep. Summer Lee, Sen. Bernie Sanders Unveil Bill to Abolish Super PACs, Stop Billionaires from Buying Candidates
Congresswoman Summer L. Lee ... introduced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United v. FEC and rein in corporate influence in American politics.
Evidence
Rep. Summer L. Lee joined colleagues to introduce a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United v. FEC and rein in corporate influence in American politics. The release says the amendment would restore Congress's and states' authority to set reasonable limits on political spending and allow public financing of campaigns.
Congress.gov lists H.R.2352, the Abolish Super PACs Act, with Rep. Summer L. Lee as sponsor. The official title says it would amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to place reasonable limits on contributions to Super PACs that make independent expenditures.
The actions page shows only that H.R.2352 was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on House Administration on 03/26/2025.
Assessments
Lee made concrete federal legislative efforts in the same term, including sponsoring H.R.2352 and joining a constitutional amendment effort to overturn Citizens United. However, the promised substantive outcome, comprehensive campaign finance reform that ends Citizens United, has not been enacted or otherwise delivered; the cited bill only reached introduction and committee referral. Because there was a serious attempt but no delivered outcome, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
Lee made serious same-term legislative efforts toward the promise, including sponsoring the Abolish Super PACs Act and joining a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. However, the cited legislation was only introduced and referred to committee, and Citizens United has not been overturned or ended. Because the promised outcome was not delivered despite concrete effort, the correct adjudication is never with an effort badge.
