Evidence

Federal law makes it unlawful for a foreign national to make election contributions, and for any person to solicit, accept, or receive such contributions from a foreign national.

This already covers the core of the claim: Americans cannot lawfully help foreign nationals make election contributions.

Her official democracy page says she is a proud cosponsor of the DISCLOSE Act and supports steps that limit money in elections and expand public financing.

Her current official issue page aligns with election-money restrictions and disclosure, which is consistent with the anti-foreign-money goal of the claim.

Assessments

partial unknown

The core policy outcome was already substantially present in federal law: 52 U.S.C. § 30121 bars foreign nationals from making election contributions and bars any person from soliciting, accepting, or receiving them. That means Americans are already legally prohibited from helping effectuate such contributions in the main ways covered by the claim. But the evidence here does not show that Rep. Schakowsky herself enacted or materially advanced this prohibition; it mainly shows general support for election-money restrictions and cosponsorship of related legislation. Because the outcome exists but is not clearly attributable to her own successful legislative delivery, full credit is not warranted.
