has fought for policies that will promote economic growth and job creation for our communities in East Tennessee and throughout the country
Evidence
Harshbarger says the government's role in the economy should be limited, that taxes and burdensome regulations should be decreased, and that she introduced H.R. 3145 to roll back burdensome occupational licensing regulations.
Harshbarger and Jake Auchincloss reintroduced the Patients Before Monopolies (PBM) Act with expanded bipartisan support; the post frames it as a push to cut drug costs.
On April 29, 2026, Harshbarger voted yea on S. Con. Res. 33, the FY2026 budget resolution setting budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.
On April 30, 2026, Harshbarger voted yea on H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, which the Clerk records as passed by the House.
Assessments
The evidence shows Harshbarger has taken same-term legislative actions aligned with the promise, including introducing or reintroducing bills aimed at reducing regulatory burdens and costs, and voting for budget and economic-policy measures. However, the record provided does not show that she delivered the full promised outcome of cutting regulations, securing beneficial trade deals, and lowering taxes as enacted federal policy. Because she made serious legislative efforts toward parts of the agenda but did not fully achieve the stated outcome, partial credit is appropriate.
