Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

The Child Tax Credit was made permanent by enacted federal law in 2025, and Marshall publicly supported the policy and voted for the reconciliation bill that became Public Law 119-21. That is sufficient candidate contribution to count as delivery rather than only partial credit.

The promised federal policy outcome was enacted during Roger Marshall's Senate service. Public Law 119-21, enacted July 4, 2025, made the relevant Child Tax Credit changes permanent, and Marshall voted yea on the Senate passage vote for H.R. 1. Because the promised outcome became law while he was in office and he supported the vehicle that passed, this counts as delivered in the same term rather than merely attempted or partial.
