Reforming the U.S. tax code is a key component to building economic momentum and growing our workforce. The United States has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, and this tax rate is driving American companies to send their manufacturing and customer service jobs abroad. Lowering the corporate tax rate will keep large businesses from sending jobs overseas, and a simpler tax code would allow small businesses to save money and grow.
We should not be satisfied with the historically low economic growth rate of the past decade.

Assessments
Harris promised to continue pushing for tax cuts and tax reform for seniors, families, and businesses. In federal House context, his recorded votes for major enacted tax legislation count as material advancement even though he was not the bill sponsor. He voted yea on final House approval of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which reduced individual and business taxes, and later voted aye on final concurrence for the 2025 reconciliation law, which made or extended tax cuts and included provisions for seniors and families. The delivery occurred in later congressional terms rather than clearly in the same campaign term. His limited role as one House member and his present vote on initial 2025 passage are caveats, but the promise was broad advocacy for more tax cuts and reform, not sole authorship.
Harris promised to keep pushing for tax cuts and tax reform for seniors, families, and businesses. As a federal House member, voting for enacted tax legislation is material action within his office role. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced individual and business taxes and Harris voted yea on passage and final approval. The 2025 reconciliation law also became public law, included tax cuts and changes for seniors and families, and Harris voted aye on final House concurrence, though he was present rather than yea on initial passage. Because the fulfilled outcomes came through later enacted federal legislation rather than a clearly same-term campaign cycle delivery, timing is later_term.
The promise is framed as continuing to push for more tax cuts and tax reform, not guaranteeing a specific enactment. Available evidence shows Harris publicly supporting and credit-claiming a later enacted tax-cut package ('Working Families Tax Cuts') and linking it to constituent benefits, which indicates some ongoing advocacy consistent with the promise. However, the record provided does not show a clear, concrete tax-cut or tax-reform measure for seniors, families, and businesses that he personally sponsored or materially advanced to completion in the reviewed period. Because there is some evidence of aligned effort and association with a later policy outcome, but not enough to credit full delivery, the best judgment is partial with later_term timing.
