Reduced taxes on family farms through the Trump Tax Cuts and is fighting to renew them.
Fight to renew the Trump tax cuts, including lower taxes for family farms.
Occurrences
Fought to make President Trump’s tax cuts permanent, avoiding a $3,000 tax hike on the average Texas family.
Evidence
Sen. Cornyn said the One Big Beautiful Bill was an opportunity to 'make key provisions of the Trump Tax Cuts permanent' and described tax priorities he championed.
CRS summarizes P.L. 119-21 (enacted July 4, 2025) and states it extends many expiring TCJA provisions and raises the estate/gift exemption (benefiting farms/family businesses).
Assessments
Sen. Cornyn publicly advocated for making key 2017 TCJA provisions permanent and identified tax priorities he championed in the Senate version of the reconciliation bill, and Congress enacted P.L. 119-21 on July 4, 2025 which extended or made permanent many TCJA provisions and raised the estate/gift tax exemption that benefits family farms and small businesses. The legislative outcome matches the promise and occurred while he was in office.
