Let’s end stock trading by public officials, end shadow lobbying and its revolving door, get dark money out of politics, and make sure the government is always accountable to the people.
End shadow lobbying and get dark money out of politics.
Occurrences
Evidence
The press releases page says Pappas helped launch the End Corruption Caucus, which will work to advance legislation and aim to root out corruption in government.
Assessments
Pappas appears to have taken a concrete anti-corruption step by helping launch the End Corruption Caucus, which is relevant to the promise to curb shadow lobbying and dark money. But the available evidence does not show that he enacted or materially delivered a reform that ended shadow lobbying or removed dark money from politics. In federal office-context terms, this supports meaningful movement toward the goal during his term, but not fulfillment of the promised outcome itself.
