Border crossings have plummeted, crime is down, taxes are lower and our regional interests—like the Lower Snake River Dams—are finally protected. But the Far Left won’t stop trying to undo this progress. I’m running for re-election to ensure the 5th District remains a stronghold for the American Dream.

Baumgartner says he is running for re-election to prevent progress such as lower taxes from being undone.

The report says Baumgartner announced plans to file for reelection and quoted him saying he had helped pass into law the largest tax cut in history.

This frames the commitment as a prospective second-term reelection promise; the second House term had not begun by 2026-06-04, so final delivery remains unresolved even though he cites first-term tax-cut work.

In the official House site social feed, Baumgartner promoted the Trump Accounts app and said the accounts were created by the Working Families Tax Cuts, which he voted for.

Within the lookback window, his office continued to promote implementation of a tax-cut law he supported, showing ongoing lower-tax advocacy but not second-term delivery yet.

IRS says the Working Families Tax Cuts allows creation of Trump Accounts for children and includes a $1,000 pilot contribution for eligible children born from 2025 through 2028.

Official implementation in the lookback window confirms that provisions of the tax-cut law Baumgartner says he voted for are active.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 1 as Public Law No. 119-21 and summarizes that the act reduces taxes while changing federal spending and debt-limit provisions.

GovInfo lists Baumgartner among cosponsors of H.R. 1301, titled the Death Tax Repeal Act, whose full title says it would repeal estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes.

Cosponsorship shows additional lower-tax legislative effort, but the bill was only referred to committee and had not become law.

Baumgartner's official House homepage says he is currently serving his first term in Congress and lists lookback-window latest news items dated June 24-27, 2026.

The official office context still places him in his first House term as of the refresh. Because the commitment is framed as lower-tax work in a second term, final delivery remains unresolved.
