Evidence
De La Cruz's office said H.R. 7024, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, was a win for working Texas families and small businesses; it highlighted child tax credit changes and pro-growth business tax provisions.
Her office announced the Strengthen Taxpayer Rights Act, saying it codifies taxpayer protections and keeps the IRS appeals process independent and not tilted against the taxpayer.
Assessments
As a federal representative, full delivery on a promise to lower taxes for working families and small businesses would normally require enacted tax-cut legislation. The evidence shows De La Cruz publicly backed a House-passed tax package benefiting families and businesses, which is meaningful progress, but it did not become law. Her more recent taxpayer-rights bill concerns IRS process protections rather than actually lowering tax burdens. That supports partial credit for advancing the goal, but not full delivery.
