Evidence

Congressman Troy Downing introduced the McCarran-Ferguson Restoration Act. The release says the legislation would eliminate the Federal Insurance Office, create a United States Insurance Representative appointed by the Treasury Secretary, and expand state insurance representation on FSOC.

Downing took concrete legislative action in the 119th Congress to create the promised United States Insurance Representative, but introduction alone is not enactment.

The draft bill text states: 'To eliminate the Federal Insurance Office ... and to establish a United States Insurance Representative within the Department of the Treasury.' Section 3 would amend 31 U.S.C. 313 so the Treasury Secretary must appoint a United States Insurance Representative within one year after enactment.

The bill text matches the promise by creating the position and assigning appointment authority to the Treasury Secretary, but the text is proposed legislation rather than enacted law.

The U.S. Code page says the text contains laws in effect on June 22, 2026. Section 313 remains titled 'Federal Insurance Office' and provides that the office is headed by a Director appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Current codified law shortly before the July 3, 2026 assessment still contains the Federal Insurance Office structure, not the promised United States Insurance Representative, indicating the proposal had not become law.

The official House site states that Republican Congressman Troy Downing is currently serving his first term as the United States Representative for Montana's Second Congressional District.

This establishes the relevant federal term for assessing action on the promise: Downing's first House term beginning in the 119th Congress.
