preserves essential benefits like the child tax credit
I will support protecting the child tax credit.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists Laurel M. Lee [R-FL] among H.R.1 cosponsors. The bill text includes 'Extension and enhancement of increased child tax credit,' raising the credit from $2,000 to $2,200, and the bill status says it became Public Law No. 119-21 on 2025-07-04.
The IRS page, last reviewed 2026-06-08, says the Child Tax Credit is worth up to $2,200 per qualifying child and the refundable ACTC can be up to $1,700.
Assessments
Lee promised to support protecting the child tax credit, and she did so by cosponsoring H.R. 1 in the 119th Congress. The enacted bill extended and increased the Child Tax Credit, becoming Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025, while she was serving in the House. Because the promise was to support the policy, not to deliver it single-handedly, her cosponsorship of the successful legislation is enough for full delivery credit.
