To fix this broken system, I have advocated for the passage of the “We The People” Act, which is a major effort to overhaul our campaign finance system.

Schatz said he supports passing the We The People Act to overhaul campaign finance rules.

The Senate failed to advance the For the People Act in the 117th Congress, so Schatz's support did not result in enactment.

The bill was introduced but this official record shows no enactment path at introduction and later Senate consideration ultimately failed.

The promised outcome was passage of a federal campaign finance overhaul, identified in the evidence as the For the People Act of 2021. The Senate cloture vote to proceed failed 50-50 on June 22, 2021, so the measure did not pass or become law during the relevant term. Schatz's supportive vote reflects a serious legislative effort, but the promised passage was not delivered.
