provide officers tax relief on federal income tax to encourage more people to get into law enforcement

The congresswoman described her Fuel the Force Act as a proposal to exempt the first $100,000 of ordinary income from federal taxation for eligible full-time officers, framed as a way to encourage more people to enter law enforcement.

Evidence

The office's June 11, 2026 news listing, "Statement on DHS Reconciliation Funding," says she voted against a partisan reconciliation package that would have pre-funded ICE and DHS for the next 3 years.

Recent official action shows she opposed a large DHS/ICE funding package. That is relevant federal funding activity, but it is not a direct implementation of a promise to boost officer and firefighter pay.

The office's June 3, 2026 news listing says the House Appropriations Committee adopted her amendment adding over $5 million to fully fund the Chemical Safety Board.

This shows active appropriations work and a successful funding amendment in the current term, but the funded entity is the Chemical Safety Board, not officer or firefighter pay.

Assessments

unresolved unknown

The available evidence shows Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez engaged in appropriations and funding votes, but it does not show that she secured or materially advanced a specific increase in federal funding to raise officer or firefighter pay. The cited actions concern DHS/ICE funding and the Chemical Safety Board, which are not direct delivery of this promise. Because she remains in federal office and the record here does not establish either fulfillment or a clearly failed targeted effort on this promise, the best judgment from this evidence is unresolved rather than delivered, partial, or never.
