Evidence

The campaign issue page says Walberg "supports the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA)" and states: "If an agreement is not free and fair for Michigan workers and manufacturers, Tim will not support it."

This is the campaign promise itself and shows the standard he set for trade agreements.

Walberg's official House issue page says he supports trade policies that are "free, fair, and enforced," says he was "proud to support passage of USMCA through the House," and says he has worked on USMCA enforcement measures and voiced support for free trade and Michigan farmers.

This shows Walberg publicly aligning his official position with the promise and backing USMCA as a concrete trade action.

partial same_term A for effort

Walberg set a conditional standard that he would only support trade agreements he considered free and fair for Michigan workers and manufacturers. The evidence shows he publicly supported USMCA, voted for or supported its House passage during his federal term, and later emphasized enforcement and Michigan agriculture/manufacturing benefits. That is a concrete action consistent with the promise, but the record provided does not establish a complete pattern that he refused all trade agreements failing that standard, so full delivery is not proven.

Walberg promised not to support trade agreements that were not free and fair for Michigan workers and manufacturers. The evidence shows he supported USMCA, publicly described his trade position as supporting policies that are free, fair, and enforced, and backed House passage of the USMCA implementing bill in 2019. The record provided does not show him supporting a trade agreement that violated the stated standard, so the promise is best treated as fulfilled on the available evidence.
