Under Energy section: "Never again can we weaken America by making our country dependent on China and other bad actors for our energy needs." Under Economic section: "Fix the supply chain by reducing our dependence on China and other bad actors." Under Standing Up To China: "End our reliance on China for critical goods by bringing manufacturing back to the United States."

This is the campaign source for the promise. It directly states the anti-China supply-chain objective, but it is a promise statement rather than proof of delivery.

Balderson said the bipartisan Resilient Manufacturing Task Force Act would help build a stronger, more resilient post-COVID economy. The release says the bill would identify vulnerabilities in U.S. supply chains and develop a plan for a National Manufacturing Guard. Balderson said the U.S. must strengthen critical supply chains "without relying on foreign actors like China."

Official evidence that Balderson advanced concrete supply-chain legislation aimed at reducing reliance on China-related foreign actors.

The bill text shows that Ms. Stevens, "for herself and Mr. Balderson," introduced H.R. 171 in the House and it was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. The bill would require the Secretary of Commerce to establish a task force to identify supply-chain vulnerabilities.

Congress.gov confirms Balderson was a sponsor of a supply-chain resilience bill, but the public legislative record shown here is introduction and referral, not enactment.

The release says Balderson and Hudson introduced the Protecting America’s Distribution Transformer Supply Chain Act. Balderson said the bill would protect the grid and domestic production of grain-oriented electrical steel, and the office described it as a way to strengthen America’s energy security.

Official evidence of additional concrete supply-chain legislation in Balderson's name, but it addresses energy supply chains rather than a completed reduction in dependence on China.

Congress.gov confirms the bill advanced in committee but did not become law, which is evidence of effort without completed delivery.

Balderson and Kuster led a bipartisan letter to the FDA warning of possible drug shortages and supply chain disruptions ahead of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act enforcement deadline. The release says the lawmakers wanted the FDA to avoid shortages as companies complied with electronic tracking requirements.

This shows ongoing supply-chain engagement in office, but it is focused on avoiding shortages during implementation of drug-tracking rules rather than reducing dependence on China or other bad actors.
