Massie promised to oppose tariffs that raise costs for American families. The evidence shows he maintained that position publicly and took a concrete same-term legislative action by voting Yea on H.J.Res. 72 to end the national emergency used for Canada tariffs. For a U.S. Representative, voting against tariff authority or tariff implementation is a direct fulfillment of an opposition pledge, even if broader tariff policy was not fully eliminated.
