Evidence

Cornyn’s agriculture issue page says he has pushed back on unnecessary EPA regulations affecting production and agriculture, including support for a joint resolution of disapproval to eliminate the EPA Waters of the United States rule.

Official Senate issue page documents that Cornyn has taken concrete anti-regulatory positions on EPA rules affecting agriculture, especially WOTUS.

Cornyn said farmers, ranchers, and landowners had complained about the Obama-era WOTUS rule, praised the EPA’s revision, and noted he voted against the rule in 2015.

This is direct official evidence of Cornyn pushing back on an EPA rule he said harmed agriculture and supporting its rollback.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Cornyn did materially push back against EPA rules affecting agriculture during his Senate term, including voting against the Obama-era WOTUS rule and supporting a resolution of disapproval. That shows real effort and some policy impact, but the evidence does not show that the broader promise to stop unnecessary EPA regulations harming agriculture was fully achieved.
