DesJarlais fulfilled the federal campaign promise by taking direct congressional action in office to support tax reductions and simplification. He voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which passed and reduced taxes for many households and businesses, and he also supported/cosponsored tax-simplification measures such as the Fair Tax Act. Because the key delivered action occurred while he was serving in Congress, the timing is same_term.

DesJarlais promised to support tax reductions and simplification, which is a support-oriented legislative pledge rather than a guarantee of full tax-code overhaul. The evidence shows he voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, supported payroll tax relief for working Americans, and cosponsored the Fair Tax Act, all of which are concrete actions aligned with reducing taxes and/or simplifying the tax system for middle-class Americans and job creators. Because the promised action was to support these policies, not necessarily enact every element of them, the promise is best classified as delivered in the same term. The effort badge is not needed because the outcome was fulfilled rather than merely attempted unsuccessfully.
