Evidence

The 119th Congress Congressional Record Index entry for André Carson lists the bills and resolutions associated with him as of May 5, 2026, and none of the listed measures is a tax on big oil company windfall profits with consumer rebates.

Latest official index snapshot does not show Carson advancing the specific big-oil windfall-tax promise in the current term.

A closely related 119th Congress bill was introduced on March 17, 2026 to impose a windfall profits excise tax on crude oil and rebate the tax collected back to individual taxpayers, but the sponsor list names Ro Khanna, Seth Magaziner, and Rashida Tlaib, not André Carson.

The policy idea was reintroduced federally in the current term, but Carson was not the lead sponsor or a named cosponsor on this bill page.

Assessments

never unknown

No evidence shows that Andre Carson delivered the promised federal policy. The current official index does not list Carson sponsoring or advancing a big-oil windfall-profits tax with consumer rebates, and the closely related 119th Congress bill was introduced by other members without Carson listed as sponsor or cosponsor. Because the promised tax-and-rebate outcome has not passed and there is no documented serious Carson-led attempt in the supplied evidence, this is best scored as not delivered without an effort badge.
