Mike Rogers is a strong advocate for lowering taxes for all working Alabamians
Lower taxes for all working Alabamians.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rogers said he supported H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, saying it would help families across East Alabama keep more of their hard-earned paychecks and help small business thrive and create new jobs.
On the conference report for H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the House roll call record shows passage on December 19, 2017; Rogers's official vote record lists his vote as Yea.
Public Law 115-97, enacted December 22, 2017, contains the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and became law in Rogers's same term in office.
Assessments
Rogers supported and voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which became Public Law 115-97 while he was serving as U.S. Representative. That provides candidate credit for materially supporting enacted federal tax-cut legislation. However, the promise was broad: lower taxes for all working Alabamians. The evidence supports tax reductions for many constituents, not a demonstrated universal tax cut for every working Alabamian, and Rogers was one House member rather than the sole driver of the outcome. Therefore the promise is best scored as partially fulfilled in the same term.
