Assessments
The evidence shows Smucker supported a targeted small-business regulatory relief bill, H.R.2965, by voting for House passage in December 2025. However, the bill had only passed the House and was referred to the Senate; it had not become law or otherwise produced enacted regulatory relief for small businesses. This is a serious legislative effort aligned with the promise, but the promised outcome was not delivered.
