The promise was to demand an FCC oversight hearing to hold Chairman Brendan Carr accountable. The evidence shows Clarke publicly stated she joined Rep. Frank Pallone in demanding such a hearing, and an FCC oversight hearing featuring Chairman Brendan Carr was officially scheduled and then held on January 14, 2026. Because the claim is framed as demanding a hearing rather than personally chairing or controlling committee action, her documented participation in the demand plus the subsequent occurrence of the hearing satisfies the promise. This happened while she remained in office, so timing is same_term.
