Evidence

Friedman said a national film tax credit is needed, argued it works in California, and said she would keep fighting to make it happen after Netflix declined to raise its Warner Bros. bid.

Direct public advocacy for the promised federal film/TV tax credit. It confirms she is actively pursuing the policy, but it does not show enactment or legislative success.

partial same_term A for effort

As of June 15, 2026, there is evidence that Laura Friedman is actively pursuing this promise in her first House term, not that she has delivered the policy outcome. Reporting in June 2025 described her as working on a federal film-tax-credit proposal, and on February 26, 2026, she publicly said the country needs a national film tax credit and that she would keep fighting to get it done. That supports meaningful same-term effort, but there is no evidence here that a federal production tax credit for film and television jobs was enacted or passed with her material role. Because the term is ongoing and she has shown concrete advocacy, this is better scored as partial rather than never.
