“We’ll lower grocery prices by taking on Trump’s tariff policies that drive up costs and supporting more competition, less consolidation in the grocery industry.” The agenda also says: “Restore certainty by rolling back Trump’s tariffs and advancing smarter, durable trade policies.”

Budinski publicly endorsed tariff rollback plus competition-focused trade policy as part of an affordability agenda explicitly tied to lowering grocery prices.

The piece says broad tariffs function like a sales tax on everyday goods and that the Affordability Agenda strengthens domestic supply chains, supports family and small farmers, and promotes competition to lower prices.

The President notified Congress that the national emergency related to trade practices contributing to persistent U.S. goods trade deficits would continue beyond April 2, 2026.

This indicates the tariff/trade-policy environment remained active and unresolved after Budzinski’s advocacy; it does not show rollback or adoption of her preferred policy.

Budzinski said she had “championed permanent, year-round E15 as a win for American farmers, energy producers, and consumers” and that the bill “ultimately expand[s] consumer fuel choices, strengthen[s] domestic energy production, and provide[s] greater certainty for agricultural producers.”

Shows concrete trade/market-structure advocacy in the same affordability lane, but not a direct tariff rollback or grocery-price result.
