To strengthen our agricultural industry, I will continue pushing for trade agreements that benefit our farmers.
Continue pushing for trade agreements that benefit farmers.
Occurrences
I am a cosponsor of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act to combat hostile trade practices and support the growth and development of U.S. exports, including agricultural goods. Where international trade is concerned, I will always put American farmers and producers first.
Evidence
“Breaking down trade barriers and expanding market access ensures that Michigan’s agricultural products can globally compete and thrive. ... The trade deal will significantly expand U.S. market access in the U.K., creating a $5 billion opportunity for new exports for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and producers.”
“I am a cosponsor of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act to combat hostile trade practices and support the growth and development of U.S. exports, including agricultural goods.”
The press release states McClain “introduced bipartisan legislation” to expand access to low-cost financing for critical community projects.
Assessments
The promise was to continue pushing for trade agreements that benefit farmers. Evidence shows McClain has supported trade-related policy for agricultural exports, including publicly stating she cosponsored the Ocean Shipping Reform Act to support U.S. exports including agricultural goods, and praising the 2025 U.S.-U.K. trade deal as expanding market access for farmers. That demonstrates ongoing advocacy and effort aligned with the promise. However, the record provided does not clearly show that she herself negotiated, sponsored, or materially advanced a specific trade agreement to enactment; the strongest evidence is support and public backing rather than direct candidate credit for delivering the agreement. Because she appears to have continued pushing on the issue but full delivery is not firmly established from the evidence, partial is the best fit.
