“I agree that our tax incentive legislation needs to pass - and to pass quickly,” said Congresswoman Laura Friedman (CA-30) . “For more than a year I've been sitting down with Jon Voight, Congressional colleagues, the unions, studios, and producers to build the case for a national film and television tax credit. There's no reason Canada, the UK, or Australia should be taking our jobs. We still have the best crews on the planet. It's time we made it possible for them to stay where they belong: in America."

Friedman reiterated support for quickly passing tax incentive legislation and described her work building support for a national film and television tax credit to keep production jobs in the United States.

The verified commitment was to fight for and build support for a national film and television tax credit, not proof that the credit had been enacted. Verified evidence documents Friedman building bipartisan support in Congress and working with Sen. Adam Schiff and Republican and Democratic offices toward passage during her current House term, which fulfills the action promised.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): 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.
