Congress.gov's CRS summary says the DISCLOSE Act applied the foreign-national campaign spending ban to foreign-controlled domestic corporations and required corporate certification before election-related spending.

The bill Lujan cosponsored addressed the foreign-company loophole part of the promise and regulated certain corporate political spending.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure final enactment. During the House term following his 2008 campaign, Ben Ray Lujan cosponsored and voted for the DISCLOSE Act in 2010, which targeted foreign-controlled corporate election spending and corporate political-spending disclosure. He later cosponsored and voted for H.R.1, the For the People Act of 2019, which included campaign-finance transparency, foreign-election-spending restrictions, and related reforms. These actions directly match the promised legislative support in the same federal office context.
