Already in the Senate? Still answer.

These senators are not scheduled for election in 2026. The pledge asks them to act too.

“No verified pledge response” means we have not verified an answer to this pledge. It does not mean someone was contacted, refused, or opposes it.

The question for Congress

Put it in writing.

They can work on the price of chicken and say the law applies to rich people. Multitask.

Read the pledge, then ask your candidates whether they support it. Send us their answer with a source.

We call on every member of the incoming Congress—House and Senate, every party—to support independent investigations and prosecution of sexual abuse and human trafficking in Jeffrey Epstein’s network, including anyone who knowingly enabled those crimes, wherever the evidence warrants.

Support the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, or equivalent successor legislation. Use congressional oversight to uncover the evidence and protect survivors.

No exceptions for wealth, power, or party.
