Tariffs: what her plank says and how she has voted

No assessment

What they say

Her campaign says it will oppose tariffs that keep American farmers from reaching new customers.

“Oppose tariffs that hinder American farmers from reaching new customers”

What the record shows · May 29, 2026

On February 11, 2026 she voted Nay on H.J.Res. 72, which would end the national emergency behind the tariffs on Canadian goods ordered in Executive Order 14193. It passed the House 219 to 211 and was referred to the Senate Finance Committee. On May 29, 2026 she introduced the WATER for Farmers Act, which would have the Trade Representative raise duties on Mexican imports while Mexico falls short on treaty water, and pay the money to South Texas farmers.

Why there is no assessment here

The plank does not say which tariffs it means. Her vote and her bill concern tariffs the United States imposes; whether they keep farmers from customers depends on what other countries do in return, and no record here measures that.

Limit: The issue page is undated and may predate these tariffs. One vote and one bill that has not moved; the owner decides whether this card runs.
