Evidence
Roll Call 637 on passage of H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, shows Fleischmann voted Yea. The Clerk lists the vote question as 'On Passage' and the result as Passed.
Fleischmann said he voted for H.R. 436, which repealed the 2.3 percent Medical Device Tax, describing it as a tax that would ship jobs overseas and hurt small businesses and startup companies.
The Congressional Record shows Fleischmann offered an amendment to the FAA reauthorization bill to study infrastructure needs of fast-growing airports. In his remarks, he said the amendment would provide a commonsense solution to reduce the cost and construction time for critical pavement projects, while maintaining safety and quality, and noted costs had become 'unnecessarily burdensome and costly.'
Congress.gov lists Rep. Fleischmann as an original cosponsor of H.R. 1301, the Death Tax Repeal Act, which sought to repeal the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes.
Assessments
The promise was framed as a commitment to fight for pro-business, lower-tax, lower-regulation policies rather than to secure one specific statutory outcome. The evidence shows Fleischmann repeatedly took aligned actions in office, including voting for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, backing repeal of the Medical Device Tax, cosponsoring estate-tax repeal legislation, and advancing an amendment aimed at reducing infrastructure project cost burdens. Because the promised conduct was substantially performed during the same term context, this is best classified as delivered.
