Support tax relief for middle class households.
Occurrences
Evidence
GovInfo lists Henry C. "Hank" Johnson, Jr. as a cosponsor of H.R. 2902, the Middle Class Opportunity Act of 2007, a bill to double the child tax credit, expand dependent care relief, and provide AMT relief.
The House Clerk roll call for H.R. 8 shows Johnson (GA) voted Aye on the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which extended certain tax relief provisions and passed the House.
The House Clerk roll call for H.R. 1319 shows Johnson (GA) voted Yea on the American Rescue Plan Act. Congress.gov describes the law's tax title as including recovery rebates, a larger child tax credit, and an expanded earned income tax credit for low- and moderate-income families.
Johnson's official House issue page says he remains committed to "supporting middle-class tax relief" and notes prior support for wage and job policies.
Assessments
Johnson promised to support middle-class tax relief, a broad support-oriented federal legislative commitment. In office, he cosponsored middle-class tax-relief legislation and voted for enacted federal tax packages including the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and the American Rescue Plan Act, both of which included tax relief or credits benefiting middle-class and working households. Because the promise was to support rather than singlehandedly enact a specific bill, these same-term votes and sponsorship actions satisfy the commitment in the federal representative context.
