the bipartisan bill imposes a five-year ban on senior Executive Branch employees from lobbying an agency where they were employed
Ashley Hinson will support a five-year ban on senior Executive Branch employees lobbying the agency where they worked.
Occurrences
to establish a 5-year post-employment ban on lobbying by former senior executive branch personnel
Evidence
Congress.gov's member page shows Hinson's recent sponsored legislation list, with H.R. 7498 (After Hours Child Care Act) introduced on 02/11/2026 and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce; the page also lists her on the House Committee on Ethics.
The Federal Register text for EO 13989 says appointees must make post-government employment choices that avoid the appearance of private gain and includes revolving-door restrictions, including a ban on lobbying covered executive-branch officials for the remainder of the administration or 2 years after leaving.
The White House's Jan. 20, 2025 rescissions order explicitly revoked Executive Order 13989, 'Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel.'
Assessments
The promise is about Hinson's support for a specific five-year revolving-door lobbying ban, not merely the existence of a general ethics rule. The evidence provided shows a somewhat similar executive-branch ethics order with shorter restrictions that was later revoked, and it does not show Hinson sponsoring, voting for, or otherwise materially supporting a five-year ban. Her recent official record in the payload is unrelated to this issue. On this record, there is not enough candidate-specific evidence to credit delivery or partial delivery.
