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.
