Assessments
The promise was to support expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit, not necessarily to single-handedly enact it. During Strickland's same House term, she publicly backed and voted for H.R. 5376, which included an extension of the American Rescue Plan EITC expansion. That is a direct legislative action consistent with the campaign pledge, even though broader enactment depended on Congress as a whole.
The promise was framed as supporting expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit, not guaranteeing enactment. During the same congressional term, Strickland publicly backed extending the American Rescue Plan EITC expansion through the Build Back Better Act and voted Yea on House passage of H.R. 5376, which included that EITC expansion. That satisfies the promised action of support.
