Sen. Ossoff is cosponsoring the Stop Price Gouging in Grocery Stores Act of 2026 to stop big corporations from taking advantage of consumers by unfairly overcharging for groceries.
Jon Ossoff promises to support legislation to crack down on corporate price gouging and lower grocery prices for Georgia families.
Occurrences
Evidence
At a June 1 Atlanta rally, Ossoff and Keisha Lance Bottoms criticized Republicans for not responding effectively to rising grocery costs, along with health care, gas, and utilities.
Politico reported that the Harris grocery price-gouging pitch was widely viewed inside Congress as unlikely to pass and that the federal ban concept mirrored legislation that had not received a vote.
Assessments
The record here shows Ossoff continuing to talk about grocery affordability, but it does not show that he sponsored, co-sponsored, voted through, or otherwise materially advanced a specific federal anti-price-gouging grocery bill that delivered the promised outcome. The broader evidence also suggests the main congressional price-gouging concept had not advanced to passage. Because Ossoff is still in office and the evidence does not show a clear completed delivery or a clear failed serious Ossoff-led attempt, this is better scored as unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.
