I support eliminating tax breaks for companies that offshore jobs and instead providing incentives for businesses that invest in American workers and communities.
Eliminate tax breaks for companies that offshore jobs and create incentives for businesses that invest in American workers and communities.
Occurrences
I will continue pushing for strong trade policies that protect American industries, hold foreign competitors accountable, and prevent unfair advantages that hurt our economy.
If a deal does not protect our workers and businesses, I will vote against it.
Evidence
The Energy issues page states that Rep. Carson supports policies that strengthen U.S. energy security and promote American-made clean energy, including 'ending tax breaks for companies that offshore clean energy manufacturing' and strengthening domestic supply chains for critical materials.
Assessments
Carson has continued to support the pledged policy in federal office, and Congress enacted some related domestic-investment incentives during his tenure, including measures to encourage U.S. manufacturing and clean-energy supply chains. However, the evidence does not show that the broader promised outcome was fully delivered: tax breaks for companies that offshore jobs were not comprehensively eliminated, and the cited source is mainly a policy-position statement rather than proof of enacted Carson-authored legislation. Because he publicly backed and likely supported related federal efforts but the central anti-offshoring tax-break promise was not fully achieved, partial credit is appropriate.
