Evidence

In the archived campaign ad, Jennifer Kiggans says she is 'working to lower costs' and says 'it's time to squeeze out inflation.' The ad links that promise to strengthening the economy and cutting taxes.

Campaign messaging shows Kiggans promised to lower costs and reduce inflation, but this is only a pledge, not proof of delivery.

BLS reported that in March 2026 the CPI-U was up 3.3 percent over the prior year, and food was up 2.7 percent over the year. Food at home, the closest official CPI measure to groceries, was still up 1.9 percent over the year.

Official inflation data do not show grocery prices being driven down; grocery-related prices were still rising as of March 2026.

Congress.gov shows Rep. Kiggans introduced H.R.5145 on 2025-09-04. The CRS summary says the bill would extend for one year temporary changes that expand eligibility for and increase the amount of the premium tax credit; the bill was referred to committee and remained introduced.

Kiggans did introduce a concrete cost-related bill, but it was not enacted and it addresses health insurance subsidies rather than groceries or inflation broadly.

The promised outcome was to drive inflation down enough to make groceries cost less for Virginia families. The cited March 2026 BLS data show CPI, food, and food-at-home prices were still higher year over year, so the grocery-cost outcome was not delivered. Kiggans did make a concrete legislative cost-related attempt with H.R.5145, but it was not enacted and concerned health insurance premium tax credits rather than grocery prices or inflation broadly. Because there was some serious legislative effort on household costs but the promised grocery/inflation outcome failed, the appropriate rating is never with an effort badge.
