GovInfo lists H.R. 4795 as Engrossed in House with last action date September 3, 2026; its title says it would prohibit institutions participating in a nonexpressive commercial boycott of Israel from eligibility for certain Higher Education Act funds.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The bill’s official text and metadata match the taxpayer-support and anti-boycott substance of the commitment, but its engrossed-in-House status indicates the federal policy had not yet been fully enacted by the as-of date.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Onder took concrete same-term federal action aligned with the promise by voting Yea on House passage of H.R. 4795, which would restrict certain federal higher-education funds for institutions engaged in nonexpressive commercial boycotts of Israel. That materially advances the promised anti-BDS taxpayer-support policy, but the available record shows the bill only passed the House and remained unenacted as of September 9, 2026. His earlier Missouri SB739 sponsorship supports consistency on the issue but predates the 2024 federal campaign and does not by itself fulfill the federal-office promise.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. unknown A for effort

Onder personally sponsored and passed Missouri SB739 in 2020, which directly restricted public contracts with entities boycotting Israel and matches the anti-BDS taxpayer-support substance of the promise. However, this was a pre-federal-campaign state legislative accomplishment, not a delivered federal House outcome from his 2025 term. The aligned federal vehicle, H.R.867, had not passed and the available evidence does not show Onder sponsoring, cosponsoring, or materially advancing it. Given the strong prior candidate contribution but no completed federal delivery, partial credit is appropriate.
