Assessments

Torres materially advanced the promise by introducing H.R. 8771, the Campaign Event Contract Integrity Act, on May 12, 2026. The bill directly matches the promised prohibition on campaign-affiliated people trading political event contracts while holding material nonpublic campaign information, including tipping and proxy trading bans. However, the bill appears only to have been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture, with no evidence of House passage, Senate passage, enactment, or implemented federal prohibition by August 18, 2026. Under the rule for serious but unsuccessful legislative attempts, this is not delivered but merits an effort badge.

Torres introduced the Campaign Event Contract Integrity Act in May 2026, which directly matches the promised policy by targeting campaign-affiliated individuals trading political event contracts, tipping material nonpublic campaign information, and proxy trading. However, the provided evidence shows introduction and advocacy only, with no enactment, passage, or implemented federal prohibition. This is a serious same-term legislative attempt but not a delivered outcome.
