Evidence

The campaign’s issues page includes the headline "Eliminate Inflation. Building A Healthy Economy."

This is the clearest campaign promise/goal matching the claim.

Stutzman said one of his main priorities would be to restore the economy to "growth and opportunity" instead of "the economy of debt and inflation" and that he would work to bring "financial sanity" back to Washington.

Official remarks show continued attention to inflation, but they are stated priorities rather than proof inflation was eliminated.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers increased 0.9 percent in March 2026 and was up 3.3 percent over the last 12 months.

Inflation was still positive as of the assessment date, so the promise to eliminate inflation was not fulfilled.

The House office listed economy-related legislative activity, including the Emergency Spending Accountability Act and other pro-growth measures, as part of Stutzman's work on the issue.

He advanced concrete economic legislation, which counts as effort, but the page does not show that inflation was eliminated.

Reporting on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' May 2026 CPI release said consumer prices rose 4.2% year over year, up from 3.8% in April and the fastest annual pace since April 2023.

Inflation was still accelerating in the lookback window, which is incompatible with a claim to have eliminated inflation.

Coverage of the June 17, 2026 FOMC meeting said the Fed left rates unchanged, stated that inflation remains elevated relative to its 2% goal, and signaled a possible rate hike later in the year.

A central bank response still focused on elevated inflation indicates the problem was unresolved during the lookback window.

Assessments

Stutzman clearly promised to eliminate inflation, but inflation remained positive and elevated during the relevant term, with 2026 CPI and Fed reporting showing the problem was not eliminated. As a U.S. representative, he did support and promote economy-related legislation and anti-inflation priorities, which counts as a serious effort, but those actions did not deliver the promised outcome. Because the promised result was not achieved during the term and there is no later completed outcome attributable to him, this is best scored as failed with effort.

The promise was to eliminate inflation, a federal economic outcome. During Stutzman's current House term, inflation remained positive: BLS reported CPI up 3.3% over the 12 months ending March 2026. Stutzman did pursue economy-related legislation and used his office to advance anti-inflation/pro-growth priorities, so there is evidence of effort, but the promised outcome itself was not achieved.

The promise was to eliminate inflation, but BLS CPI data showed prices were still rising in March 2026, with CPI up 3.3% over the prior 12 months. Stutzman pursued economy-related messaging and legislation, including spending accountability and pro-growth measures, so there was meaningful effort, but the promised outcome was not achieved.
