Assessments
Crow made concrete legislative efforts aligned with the promise, including original cosponsorship of the 2023 DISCLOSE Act and related campaign-finance disclosure measures, and earlier support for broader House-passed democracy legislation. However, the DISCLOSE Act and related disclosure reforms did not become federal law, so the promised outcome was not delivered.
