Evidence

TITLE VII—FINANCE includes "CHAPTER 1—PROVIDING PERMANENT TAX RELIEF FOR MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES AND WORKERS" and Section 70101 amends the Internal Revenue Code by striking the January 1, 2026 sunset for the reduced rates, making the 2017 rate structure apply beginning after 2017.

Official law enacted in 2025 permanently extended core 2017 individual tax-cut provisions, directly fulfilling the permanence part of the promise.

Babin said he "was proud to cast my vote for this historic bill" and described it as delivering "bigger paychecks, lower taxes" and "delivering historic economic relief." The release says the bill "delivers the largest tax cut in U.S. history" and includes tax relief provisions that were part of making the 2017 tax cuts permanent.

Babin publicly supported and voted for the reconciliation bill that enacted permanent extensions of the 2017 tax cuts.

The provided evidence indicates Public Law 119-21 was enacted on July 4, 2025 and permanently extended core 2017 individual tax-cut provisions by removing the January 1, 2026 sunset for reduced rates. Babin voted for and publicly supported the final reconciliation bill that enacted those provisions. Because the promised outcome was to work to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent, and the relevant provisions became law during the same term, the promise is best classified as delivered.
