Evidence

Magaziner announced a new office policy prohibiting staff, including himself, from participating in prediction markets or wagering tied to information learned in an official capacity. The release says he is 'pushing to end insider trading in Washington' and that he supports banning elected officials and government employees from profiting off insider information, including through prediction markets.

Direct, concrete action in his current office aligning with the promise: he barred himself and staff from prediction markets linked to official information and reaffirmed support for broader bans.

delivered same_term A for effort

As a sitting U.S. Representative, Magaziner publicly supported the ban and took a concrete office-level step by prohibiting himself and staff from participating in prediction markets tied to official information. He also joined a House Democratic letter pressing DOJ action on insider trading in prediction markets. That is sufficient evidence that he fulfilled the promise to support such a ban during his current term, even though the broader federal policy was not enacted by him alone.

delivered same_term A for effort

Magaziner promised to support bans on elected officials and government employees profiting from insider information, including prediction markets. In his current federal term, he implemented an office policy barring himself and staff from prediction-market participation or wagering tied to official information, publicly reaffirmed support for broader bans, and joined a House Democratic letter urging DOJ enforcement against insider trading on prediction-market platforms. Because the promise was framed as support rather than enactment of a statutory ban, these same-term official actions are sufficient to count as delivered.
