Fedorchak voted yea on the House budget resolution for fiscal year 2025, H. Con. Res. 14, which set budgetary levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2034.

She supported a formal budget resolution process, but this did not itself balance the federal budget.

Fedorchak introduced H.R. 2838 to phase out clean electricity production and investment credits for wind and solar energy.

This is a concrete spending-related legislative effort aimed at reducing federal subsidies, but it was only introduced and referred to committee.

Fedorchak said that fully tackling the federal deficit requires reducing federal spending and advancing pro-growth policies.

Her office publicly tied deficit reduction to spending cuts, but this was a statement rather than enacted budget-balancing action.

Fedorchak said she voted to advance a FY26 appropriations package that cuts current spending levels by more than $9 billion and codifies FY25 rescissions.

This is another concrete spending-cut vote showing ongoing effort, but it falls short of balancing the budget.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Fedorchak made the promise as part of her campaign platform and took same-term spending-related actions, including supporting a budget resolution, introducing a subsidy phaseout bill, and voting to advance appropriations with stated spending cuts. However, the promised outcome was to stop out-of-control spending and balance the federal budget, and the evidence does not show that the federal budget was balanced or that spending was brought under control. These actions amount to serious legislative effort but not delivery of the promised outcome.
