Evidence

Foster's current Protecting Democracy page says he was proud to cosponsor H.R. 1 last Congress and describes it as a bill to fix the campaign finance system.

Current official House issue page shows Foster supporting campaign-finance reform, which is adjacent to the Citizens United amendment goal but not the amendment itself.

The House press release says Foster reintroduced the Shareholder Political Transparency Act, a bill requiring public companies to disclose political spending to shareholders.

Official 2025 action shows Foster taking concrete campaign-finance reform steps that align with the broader anti-Citizens-United position, but it is still not a constitutional amendment.

Assessments

partial later_term A for effort

Foster has taken concrete steps on campaign-finance reform, including cosponsoring H.R. 1 and introducing legislation on political-spending transparency, which align with the broader goal behind overturning Citizens United. But the provided evidence does not show that he directly supported, sponsored, or materially advanced a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United itself. That warrants partial credit for related action, not full delivery of the specific promise.
