Evidence

The press release says Torres introduced the Campaign Funds Integrity Act of 2026, which would prohibit candidates, authorized committees, and other political committees from using campaign funds to participate in prediction markets or event contracts and would amend FECA Section 324.

Torres publicly announced a bill in the lookback window that directly matches the promise and would impose the requested prohibition, but it is only an introduction and not enactment.

Congress.gov shows Torres introduced H.R. 7004 on January 9, 2026, titled the Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026, and the bill text includes a prohibition on covered individuals engaging in covered transactions involving prediction market contracts tied to government policy, government action, or political outcome.

This is earlier legislative evidence that Torres pursued closely related prediction-market restrictions in the same Congress, but it addresses covered individuals rather than campaign funds, so it is supporting context rather than full delivery of the specific promise.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

Torres has materially advanced the promised policy in the same federal term by introducing the Campaign Funds Integrity Act of 2026, which directly targets use of campaign funds in prediction markets or event contracts. However, the evidence shows introduction only, not passage or enactment, so the promised prohibition has not yet been delivered. Because the legislation appears pending rather than finally failed, the correct outcome is unresolved rather than never.
