Evidence

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi said on May 20, 2026 that he 'today reintroduced the Hate Crimes Commission Act' with House co-leads Congresswoman Grace Meng and Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez. The release says the bill would establish a bipartisan United States Commission on Hate Crimes and 'direct[] the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to audit federal hate crime data collection systems.'

Velázquez publicly co-led the reintroduction of the hate-crimes commission bill and supported the GAO audit requirement, satisfying the promise to reintroduce and support the legislation in the current term.

The promise was to reintroduce and support legislation establishing a bipartisan U.S. Commission on Hate Crimes and requiring a GAO audit of federal hate crime data collection. The May 20, 2026 release states that Nydia Velázquez was a House co-lead on the reintroduced Hate Crimes Commission Act and that the bill included both promised components. Because the promised action was legislative reintroduction and support, not enactment, this counts as fulfilled in the same federal term.
