Evidence

Goldman and Velázquez said they introduced the HUD Data Privacy Act to stop HUD from sharing housing-assistance data with other agencies or third parties after reports HUD was working with DHS.

This is concrete legislative activity on data privacy and DHS-related data handling, but it does not match the promise's specific plan to direct DHS to issue best practices for protecting public officials' PII.

Goldman and Lawler announced the Jewish American Security Act, a bipartisan bill with a six-point security plan to counter antisemitism and protect Jewish Americans and institutions.

Goldman is still actively introducing security-focused legislation in the lookback window, which supports ongoing effort, but this is not the specific DHS guidance bill described in the claim.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

Goldman has served in the House since January 3, 2023, and his current term is still ongoing as of June 12, 2026. The available evidence shows related activity on privacy and security, including the HUD Data Privacy Act and other security legislation announced on May 7, 2026, but those measures do not match the specific promise to pursue legislation directing DHS to develop and disseminate best practices to protect public officials' personally identifiable information. Because there is no clear evidence that he introduced or materially advanced that specific DHS-focused proposal, but his time in office to do so has not ended, the promise is best scored as unresolved rather than delivered or never.
