Stop automatic annual pay raises for members of Congress.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The bill H.R. 7628 has remained in the House Committee on House Administration and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform since February 19, 2026. Committee leaders must decide to hold a vote for the bill to move forward, but most bills in Congress never receive a committee vote. This lack of action is the standard way most legislative proposals end.
