The Campaign Event Contract Integrity Act would prohibit covered campaign-affiliated individuals, including campaign staff, consultants, pollsters, data analysts, media consultants, and fundraisers, from trading political event contracts while in possession of material nonpublic campaign information. It also bans tipping that information to third parties for trading purposes and bars the use of proxies to evade the law.
Prohibit campaign-affiliated individuals from trading political event contracts or tipping nonpublic campaign information in prediction markets.

Evidence
Torres said the Campaign Event Contract Integrity Act would prohibit covered campaign-affiliated individuals, including staff, consultants, pollsters, data analysts, media consultants, and fundraisers, from trading political event contracts while holding material nonpublic campaign information; it also bans tipping and proxy trading.
The House office said the bill would close a loophole allowing campaign insiders to profit off confidential information in political prediction markets and would prohibit campaign-affiliated individuals from trading while in possession of material nonpublic campaign information.
Assessments
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.
