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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Her visible recent congressional activity in the lookback window is unrelated to the lobbying-ban promise. That is an inference from the official member record, so the claim remains unresolved.

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.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This shows the federal ethics-pledge framework the claim resembles, but not Hinson-specific support. It was a later-term executive action, and it was later revoked.

The White House's Jan. 20, 2025 rescissions order explicitly revoked Executive Order 13989, 'Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel.'

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The executive-branch ethics order with revolving-door restrictions no longer remained in force after Jan. 20, 2025. That undercuts any reading of the promise as delivered through federal executive policy.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. unknown

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.
