I will work to provide clarity and predictability for businesses regarding tariffs and related policies.

Evidence
Today’s ruling affirms, despite all the noise of the moment, that the Founders’ system of checks and balances remains strong nearly 250 years later. Several questions remain unanswered, including what happens to the revenue already collected and how the Administration may use alternative authorities to impose tariffs. Looking ahead, it is critical that we provide the clarity and predictability businesses need.
Over the years, I’ve spoken with energy innovators across Utah and the nation. From the Uintah Basin to Beaver’s geothermal fields, I’ve seen cutting-edge facilities building the future of power. Their consistent ask isn’t subsidies—it’s predictability and deregulation.
The site’s May 15, 2026 front-page update highlights a small business and innovation expo Curtis hosted in Utah and lists other recent items, but it does not show any new tariff-specific legislative or executive action in the lookback window.
USTR announced a May 19, 2026 trade-ministerial initiative and said President Trump’s tariff program is actively rebalancing global trade while USTR prepares discussions on MFN, food trade, and excess capacity.
Assessments
Curtis has publicly advocated for tariff-policy clarity and predictability for businesses during his current federal term, including responding to the April 7, 2026 tariff ruling and emphasizing unresolved business uncertainty. The evidence does not show that he enacted, sponsored, or materially advanced a concrete law, binding policy, or completed federal action that actually provided that clarity. Related USTR activity appears to be executive-branch action not credited to Curtis. Because the promise is broad and ongoing, and there is evidence of advocacy but not delivery, the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or never.
The evidence shows Senator Curtis repeatedly voiced support for providing clarity and predictability for businesses regarding tariffs and related policies. However, there is no clear record of substantive legislative or executive action taken to deliver on this promise—only public statements and advocacy. Thus, it cannot be determined that the promise was fulfilled or that a serious attempt was made beyond advocacy.
