Evidence

Grothman's official vote record shows that between June 4 and June 11, 2026, he voted Yea on H.R. 8428 (Federal Fraud Prevention Workforce Training Act), H.R. 8466 (Taxpayer Resources Used in Emergencies Accountability Act), H.R. 8312 (Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act), H.R. 8464 (Stopping Fraudulent Payments Act), H.Res. 1335 (fraud and improper-payment reforms), and H.R. 8646 (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agency Appropriations Act, 2027).

He took several concrete votes in the lookback window that support tighter payment controls and an appropriations bill, but this does not yet show a broad enacted cut to federal spending.

Grothman's June 4, 2026 press release says his State Emissions Authority Act would eliminate federal vehicle emissions-testing mandates, restore state authority, and reduce unnecessary costs for drivers, businesses, and state governments; the House Energy and Commerce Environment Subcommittee considered it that day.

This is a concrete cost-cutting legislative push, but it was only considered in committee and was not enacted.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Grothman gets partial credit because, in federal office, he supported concrete spending-cutting actions during the same term, including backing the Rescissions Act of 2025, which became law on July 24, 2025 and rescinded previously appropriated budget authority, and later voting for anti-fraud and accountability measures framed as reducing waste. He also pushed additional cost-cutting legislation such as the State Emissions Authority Act, but that measure was only considered in committee and not enacted. Because the promise was broad, and the available record does not show that he personally delivered a broad overall cut in federal spending rather than supporting some narrower cuts and restraint measures, full delivery is too strong.
