Her House issue page says she continues to advocate 'lowering taxes and fundamental tax reform' to create 'a flatter, fairer system' that increases opportunity, and says she promised never to vote for a tax hike.

Current official issue page confirms the tax-reform promise remained a core and continuing objective, but it does not by itself prove full completion of the goal.

Assessments

delivered later_term

Stefanik promised as a 2014 federal House candidate to work for lower taxes and a flatter, fairer, pro-growth tax code. The major relevant federal outcome was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which passed the House in November 2017 while she was serving in Congress, and her vote helped materially advance the bill. Because that passage occurred after the 2015-2017 House term for which the 2014 campaign promise was made, the timing is later_term. Later support for additional tax-relief legislation reinforces continued work but is not needed for the core finding.

Stefanik made the campaign promise in 2014 and, during the same congressional term after taking office, voted for the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a major enacted federal tax package that lowered taxes and changed the tax code. That substantially advances the promise to work for tax reform and lower taxes. However, the broader promise of creating a flatter, fairer system that promotes job creation and economic growth is partly subjective and not fully demonstrated by the evidence, and her later statements show the goal remained ongoing rather than conclusively completed.
