Representative Derek Schmidt, Republican, represents Kansas District 2 in the 119th Congress. Congress.gov lists member activity: Sponsored Legislation [9], Cosponsored Legislation (All) [243], and House Roll Call Votes [432].

Congress.gov confirms Schmidt's relevant federal term and legislative activity, but the visible member activity page does not show a specific delivered measure coordinating a federal anti-scam response or intergovernmental scam enforcement cooperation.

Schmidt has represented Kansas's Second Congressional District since January 3, 2025. His official biography says that as Kansas attorney general he focused on protecting senior citizens from scams and rip-offs.

The official biography documents prior state-level anti-scam experience, but not fulfillment of the federal campaign promise during his House term.

H.R.825 prohibits individuals convicted of certain financial crimes from receiving assistance from the Small Business Administration. The bill passed the House on February 24, 2025, and was referred to the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee on February 25, 2025.

This is related anti-fraud legislation that advanced in the House, but it does not coordinate the federal response to consumer scams or improve federal-state-local-Tribal cooperation, and it had not become law on the cited record.

The House roll-call page records H.R.825, Assisting Small Businesses Not Fraudsters Act, passed 405-0. Derek Schmidt, Republican of Kansas, voted Yea.

Schmidt took a concrete vote for a related anti-fraud bill, supporting an effort badge, but this vote alone does not deliver the specific anti-scam coordination promise.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

No evidence shows Schmidt delivered the promised federal coordination of scam response or improved cooperation among federal, state, local, and Tribal authorities during his House term. He voted for H.R.825, an anti-fraud small business bill that passed the House, but it was narrower than the promise and had not become law on the provided record. That vote supports credit for effort, not fulfillment.

unresolved unknown

The available evidence does not show Derek Schmidt coordinated a federal anti-scam response or materially improved cooperation among federal, state, local, and Tribal authorities. The only cited source is an official site snapshot noting no recent scam-related update, which is insufficient to confirm delivery or a serious failed attempt.
