Occurrences

Foushee supports a progressive tax system that provides relief for middle and low-income families while increasing taxes on large corporations and high-income earners. She supports raising the corporate tax rate, increasing capital gains and buyback taxes, closing the carried interest loophole, and instituting a "billionaire" 25% minimum tax rate on households who have a net worth over $100 million. She is working to expand the Child Tax Credit and make it fully refundable for low-income households, broaden the Earned Income Tax Credit, restore the Affordable Care Act subsidies, and create more tax credits around affordable housing and childcare.

Supports higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy, plus expanded family tax credits.

Evidence

“Congress must permanently expand the Child Tax Credit and make it fully refundable and available to families through monthly payments, include support for immigrant families, and reform our broken tax system that benefits and provides tax relief for the wealthy and large corporations.” The statement says she voted to pass H.R. 7024 and describes it as including an expansion of the Child Tax Credit and relief for small businesses.

Directly supports the tax-redistribution and family-relief parts of the claim. This is strong evidence of stated support, but it was in connection with a specific 2024 tax package rather than a broad, standalone progressive tax platform.

The official sponsored-legislation page lists H.R. 8085, the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act of 2026, as cosponsored by Foushee on 03/25/26.

Strong current-term evidence that she backed a bill aimed at taxing very high wealth, consistent with the claim’s emphasis on taxing high-income/wealthy households and corporations. The page does not itself show enactment.

The page states she is “a steadfast supporter of ... permanent expansion of the Child Tax Credit” and links to her January 31, 2024 statement on the tax package.

Official issue-page evidence of an ongoing pro-family-tax-relief posture, especially around the Child Tax Credit. It does not specifically mention raising taxes on large corporations or high-income earners, so it only partially matches the claim.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The evidence shows Foushee clearly supported both elements of the promise: more progressive taxation on the wealthy and expanded family tax relief. She cosponsored the Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act of 2026, which materially aligns with raising taxes on very high-wealth households, and she publicly backed permanent expansion of the Child Tax Credit while voting for H.R. 7024 in 2024. However, the record provided shows support, votes, and cosponsorship rather than successful enactment of a broader progressive tax system raising taxes on large corporations and high-income earners while expanding family relief. Because she took concrete legislative action but the full promised outcome is not shown as achieved, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
