Eliminate the law that grants automatic annual pay raises to members of Congress.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The bill S. 86 remains in the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs as of June 13, 2025. Committee members must hold a vote to move this legislation forward, but most bills fail because committees choose not to act on them. This effort has seen no progress since January 13, 2025, and the lack of committee action is the primary barrier to success.
