GovInfo's introduced House text lists Mr. Mackenzie among the members for whom Mr. Steil introduced H.R. 7008 on January 12, 2026. The bill would add restrictions saying no covered individual may purchase a covered investment and would require public notice 7 to 14 days before covered sales.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Mackenzie was an original cosponsor of a bill aimed at restricting congressional stock trading by Members, spouses, and dependents, with purchase restrictions and sale-notice requirements. This is concrete effort but not enactment.

The Senate legislation page lists 'Stock Trading, restrict members' with House bill H.R.7008 marked as 'Advanced Action' and the Public Law/Veto column blank. The page was crawled during the September 4-6 lookback window.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the latest official Senate legislation page found in the lookback, H.R. 7008 had not become public law, so the promised ban had not been fully delivered.

Mackenzie made a concrete same-term effort by cosponsoring H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, in the 119th Congress. But the evidence shows the bill had only advanced procedurally and had not become public law, so he has not delivered a new federal ban during his term. Existing insider-trading restrictions do not give Mackenzie candidate credit for fulfilling a future campaign promise.
