I fully support both measures, and will continue to fight for our Central Texas values and repeal these pro-tax, pro-abortion policies.
Repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 1 became Public Law No. 119-21 on 2025-07-04, and Section 71113 bars federal Medicaid payments to certain 'prohibited entities' that are family-planning and reproductive-health organizations providing abortions. That is a concrete federal defunding mechanism that would cover Planned Parenthood-like providers.

The same enacted law does not repeal the Affordable Care Act; instead, it amends ACA-related premium tax credit and verification provisions, including sections referencing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and section 36B of the Internal Revenue Code. That is an ACA modification, not a repeal.

Assessments
Carter receives candidate-specific credit for voting Aye on H.R. 1, which became Public Law 119-21 in 2025 and included a federal Medicaid funding restriction for certain abortion-providing family-planning entities, substantially addressing the Planned Parenthood defunding portion. The Affordable Care Act was not repealed; current federal guidance still treats ACA provisions as operative, and the cited law only modified ACA-related mechanics. Because only one major component of the conjunctive promise was delivered, the correct outcome is partial rather than delivered.
The claim has two distinct parts: repealing Obamacare and defunding Planned Parenthood. The available evidence supports only partial fulfillment. Congress enacted a later federal Medicaid funding restriction targeting abortion-providing family-planning entities, which substantially supports the 'defund Planned Parenthood' portion. But the Affordable Care Act was not repealed; the cited law amended ACA-related provisions while leaving the ACA in force. Because one major component was not delivered, full delivery is not justified. Later-term timing fits because the supported action occurred in a subsequent Congress rather than at the original promise point, and the record provided does not show enough candidate-specific authorship or decisive personal advancement to award full credit for the entire combined promise.
