Evidence

Rep. Jackson's office said he voted No on H.Con.Res. 14, arguing the budget threatened working families, seniors, children, Medicaid, and SNAP while giving tax breaks to wealthy people and corporations. The release quoted him: “I will continue to push for a budget that values fairness, opportunity, and dignity for all Americans.”

This is the clearest source for the promise and ties it to a concrete budget vote and public advocacy against cuts to health care and food assistance.

Jackson's office said he voted no on the Republican spending bill because it did not address the health-care crisis, ACA premium tax credits, SNAP, or families’ basic needs. He said he would continue standing up for constituents and working families so their basic needs are met.

This official statement shows continued budget advocacy after the original promise, focused on health care affordability, food assistance, and prioritizing working families.

The promise was framed as an ongoing advocacy commitment, not a pledge to enact a specific budget. In the same congressional term, Jackson voted against the FY2025 budget resolution he criticized as unfair, opposed subsequent major tax-and-spending and appropriations measures, issued budget statements centered on working families, health care, Medicaid, SNAP, seniors, and children, and used the appropriations process to request community project funding for housing, accessibility, transit, schools, and local services. That is enough to count the promise as fulfilled in the federal House context.
