Assessments
Barr materially supported a major federal tax-cut bill by voting yea on final House passage of H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The bill became Public Law 115-97 on December 22, 2017 and reduced individual and corporate federal income tax rates, satisfying the broad promise to cut taxes. Because the evidence classifies enactment as occurring in a later term relative to the campaign context, timing is later_term.
