Congresswoman Scanlon Introduces Legislation to Help Americans Fight Back Against Corporate Price Fixing
Evidence
Washington, May 1, 2026 ... Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05) this week introduced the Competitive Prices Act, legislation that would make it easier to hold companies accountable for illegally raising prices, restricting wages, or creating artificial shortages of goods and services.
Introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to committee; the bill text addresses price gouging and wage fixing and includes FTC enforcement and arbitration-waiver provisions.
Assessments
The evidence shows Scanlon took concrete legislative action aligned with the promise by introducing legislation aimed at making it easier to hold companies accountable for illegal price increases and wage restrictions. However, the available record only shows introduction and committee referral, not enactment or implementation. Under the rubric, a serious legislative attempt that did not achieve the promised policy outcome is scored as never, with effort_badge true.
