I will fight to: Repeal Trump’s unlawful tariffs that have hit Texas the hardest, causing prices to skyrocket for consumers, lowering sales for Texas exports, and killing Texans’ jobs.
Repeal Trump’s unlawful tariffs.
Occurrences
Evidence
Crockett introduced H.R. 7646, the Payback Act, directing Treasury to refund consumers for costs from tariffs imposed without congressional authorization; it was referred to Ways and Means.
Crockett said the Supreme Court struck down Trump's illegal tariffs and called them an economic scam; she framed the ruling as a check on executive overreach.
Assessments
Crockett made a concrete same-term legislative effort through H.R. 7646, the Payback Act, aimed at addressing costs from tariffs imposed without congressional authorization, but the evidence does not show that her bill passed or that she directly repealed the tariffs. The tariffs were reportedly struck down by the Supreme Court, which advances the promised outcome but is a judicial action rather than a repeal delivered by Crockett. Because the outcome was only partly achieved and her contribution was advocacy/legislative effort rather than enactment, partial credit is appropriate.
