I generally oppose tariffs on foreign goods because those tariffs end up being paid by the American consumer in the form of higher prices. I support free and fair trade deals negotiated by the U.S. administration
Oppose raising tariffs on foreign goods and support free and fair trade deals instead.

Assessments
Crank won the 2024 federal House race and the relevant judgment window is his current congressional term beginning in 2025. During that term, the administration imposed multiple tariff increases on goods from China, Mexico, Canada, and broader tariff actions continued. The main House vehicles matching the promise, including the Trade Review Act of 2025 and the August 2026 tariff-repeal bill, had not become law, and Crank is not shown as a sponsor or cosponsor. Reporting on the House Canada-tariff disapproval vote also does not list Crank among the Republicans who voted to rescind the tariffs. Because the promised anti-tariff/free-trade outcome was not delivered and the record does not show a serious Crank-led or Crank-backed attempt, this is not fulfilled and does not merit an effort badge.
During Crank's first House term, the administration raised tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China. The main House vehicle to restrain new tariffs, H.R.2665, remained only introduced and Crank was neither sponsor nor cosponsor. Reporting on the House vote to block Canada tariffs identified the six Republicans who supported repeal, and Crank was not among them. Because the promised anti-tariff/free-trade outcome was not enacted and the record provided does not show a serious Crank-led legislative or executive effort, this should be scored as not delivered without an effort badge.
