George Santos scandal | Torres introduces bill to require Congressional candidates disclose education, work history under oath

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on December 30, 2022

Following the bombshell revelations that Republican Congress Member-elect George Santos fabricated many parts of his résumé, Democratic Congress Member Ritchie Torres announced late Thursday that he’s introducing a bill that would require those running for office to disclose key parts of their personal biography under oath.

Torres, who represents the northwest Bronx, revealed his intention to introduce the legislation, dubbed the “Stopping Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker Act” or the “SANTOS Act” – late Thursday night on Twitter. The bill would stipulate that those filing to run for Congress must disclose their educational background, employment history and any record of military service under oath along with their statement of candidacy.
