Crow backed a broad democracy and campaign-finance reform bill in the 2023-2024 Congress, but it did not pass or become law.

The bill text includes TITLE VI--CAMPAIGN FINANCE TRANSPARENCY, Subtitle A--DISCLOSE Act, and states that campaign finance disclosure should reveal the true and original source of money spent to influence federal elections. The text also names dark money as funding for political activity not traceable to actual donors.

The bill Crow cosponsored directly targeted dark money and campaign-finance disclosure, matching the dark-money part of the promise, but it was not enacted.

Congress.gov lists Jason Crow among cosponsors. The bill passed the House on 2021-03-03 by 220-210 and was received in the Senate on 2021-03-11. The CRS summary says the bill addresses campaign finance and ethics for all three branches, including disclosure, disclaimers, Supreme Court ethics, and conflict-of-interest provisions.

Crow cosponsored a prior comprehensive campaign-finance and ethics bill that passed the House, but it did not become law.

Congress.gov lists Jason Crow among cosponsors of H.R.1. The bill status is Passed House; it passed the House on 2019-03-08 by 234-193 and was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on 2019-03-14.

Crow supported an earlier version of the same reform agenda, but it stopped after House passage and therefore did not deliver enacted dark-money or ethics reforms.

Congress.gov member activity for the 119th Congress lists Crow as sponsor of H.R.7060, No Political Enemies Act, introduced 2026-01-14 and referred to Judiciary, Oversight and Government Reform, and Ways and Means, with status Introduced. It also lists H.J.Res.136, Democracy Day, introduced 2026-01-06 and referred to Oversight and Government Reform.

In the term following the 2024 campaign, Crow introduced democracy/trust-related measures, but the cited same-term items were only introduced and do not themselves enact dark-money or ethics-rule reforms.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Crow materially supported campaign-finance and ethics reform measures, including cosponsoring For the People Act versions and H.R.11/Freedom to Vote Act provisions addressing dark money disclosure, and later introduced democracy/trust-related measures in the term after the 2024 campaign. However, the cited bills either only passed the House or remained introduced/referred and did not become law, so the promised federal crackdown on dark money, strengthened ethics rules, and restored trust in government was not delivered. This qualifies as a serious legislative effort without enactment.
