Wasserman Schultz took a concrete constituent-facing step by convening local small business owners and publicly opposing Trump tariffs, which supports the promise in part. The record provided does not show enacted protection, tariff rollback, or other completed relief for small businesses, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
