Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itCollins claims specific policy achievements — tariff removals on three named goods — that can be verified against trade records or official announcements.
What we foundThe tariff exemptions for road salt and cement (concrete) are confirmed and linked to Collins's advocacy, but the pulp exemption predates or is independent of her efforts, stemming from USMCA compliance rather than her lobbying.
