House Roll Call 190 on H.R. 1 was a recorded vote on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment; status was Passed, 218-214, and Jeff Hurd of Colorado voted Aye.
Assessments
The promised outcome was to pursue savings and tax-credit options for working families, including the Child Tax Credit and child care-related credits. During Hurd's House term, H.R. 1 became Public Law 119-21 and included an increased Child Tax Credit plus expanded child care-related tax benefits, including dependent care assistance, the child and dependent care credit, and employer-provided child care credit provisions. Hurd voted Aye on final House approval, giving him direct same-term legislative credit for materially supporting the enacted outcome.
Jeff Hurd voted aye on final House approval of H.R. 1 in July 2025, during his first House term. The bill became Public Law 119-21 and enacted multiple family tax-credit changes directly aligned with the promise, including increasing and extending the Child Tax Credit and expanding child care-related tax benefits such as dependent care assistance, the child and dependent care credit, and the employer-provided child care credit. Because the promised federal tax-credit options were enacted while he was in office and he supported final passage, this counts as delivered in the same term.
