The promise was to make the Trump tax cuts permanent. Public Law 119-21 was enacted on July 4, 2025, during Messmer's federal House term, and made permanent major TCJA provisions including reduced individual rates, increased standard deduction, child tax credit changes, QBI deduction, and estate/gift tax exemption amounts. Messmer also publicly celebrated the enacted tax package as delivered tax relief. Because the substantive outcome passed during his term, this counts as delivered with same_term timing.
