I also introduced the Trump Tariff Transparency Act to expose the true economic impact of his trade policies and hold the administration accountable for decisions that are driving up prices.
Require transparency on the economic impact of Trump administration tariff policies.
Occurrences
Evidence
H.R.2047 was introduced by Rep. Fletcher “for herself, Ms. Pettersen” and titled the Pink Tariffs Study Act.
The bill would require Treasury to submit a study on tariff rates and revenues, including whether burdens fall unequally on consumers.
Congress.gov lists H.R.2047 as “Introduced” with latest action referred to House Ways and Means on 03/11/2025.
The report says Fletcher and Pettersen sent Treasury a letter urging investigation of how Trump tariffs disproportionately cost women.
Assessments
Pettersen materially attempted the promise during the same federal House term by joining the introduction of H.R.2047, the Pink Tariffs Study Act, and by supporting related oversight pressure on Treasury. But the bill remains only introduced and referred to House Ways and Means, with no House passage, Senate passage, enactment, or binding federal requirement. The promised outcome was to require transparency on tariff economic impacts, so nonbinding letters and an unenacted bill show serious effort but not delivery.
