I will fight to significantly increase the Child Tax Credit and make sure it is paid monthly.
Occurrences
Permanently extending the American Rescue Plan’s historic expansions of the Child Tax Credit (CTC)... CTC provides $3,000 ($3,600 for young children) per child, fully refundable and payable monthly.
Evidence
Gomez’s official Child Tax Credit page says the American Rescue Plan created monthly CTC payments through the end of 2021 and that he was fighting to make the expansion permanent beyond 2021.
Gomez’s current Children and Families issue page says he is still fighting to significantly increase the Child Tax Credit and make sure it is paid monthly.
Assessments
Gomez can claim partial credit because the 2021 American Rescue Plan significantly increased the Child Tax Credit and converted it into monthly payments for the rest of 2021, and his official page says he and his Ways and Means Committee colleagues helped craft that provision. But the promise is not fully delivered because the monthly expansion was temporary, not made permanent, and his current issue page still says he is fighting to achieve this goal. In federal legislative context, that is meaningful contribution to a partial outcome rather than full fulfillment.
