Verified. Rosen did what she promised. (1) Dec 20, 2023 primary source (rosen.senate.gov) confirms she sent a letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan urging the agency to "review and consider blocking this merger," explicitly tying it to grocery prices; the cited quote "the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) must fully exercise its antitrust authority to review and consider blocking this merger" appears verbatim. (2) Aug 8, 2024 primary source confirms she "joined her colleagues in submitting an amicus brief to block the Kroger-Albertsons mega-merger that could limit competition and raise grocery prices for Nevadans" — quote verbatim. The FTC sued to block the deal, a federal court blocked it (Dec 2024), and the merger was abandoned, so the promised outcome (push FTC to block, on food-price grounds) was fully realized. Correctly rated FULL rather than CHAMPIONED: her documented role was an individual letter plus co-signing (not authoring or leading) an amicus brief, with no evidence she led a coalition or was a lead legislative sponsor. The outcome does not overstate the evidence. The Nevada Current secondary source returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch (bot-block), but WebSearch confirms the article exists with the exact cited headline "Rosen urges FTC to stop Kroger-Albertsons merger" and matching content, so it is corroborated rather than unreachable.
