Congress.gov says H.R. 1 became Public Law 115-97 on December 22, 2017, and that the bill amended the Internal Revenue Code to reduce tax rates and modify policies, credits, and deductions for individuals and businesses.

The bill Mast supported became law and directly reduced federal tax rates and business-related tax burdens, satisfying a major part of the promise in his first term.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 1628 as Passed House, with latest action in the Senate on September 25, 2017. The summary says it would repeal individual and employer mandate penalties, repeal the medical device excise tax, and repeal certain health-insurance and pharmaceutical fees.

This supports effort toward lowering government-imposed health-related costs, but the blocked Senate outcome means this component was not fully delivered.

Congress.gov says H.R. 1 became Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025. The summary says the act reduces taxes and makes permanent multiple individual federal tax provisions enacted in 2017, including individual tax rates, a higher standard deduction, the child tax credit, and the qualified business income deduction.

This later-term enacted law reinforces fulfillment of the tax-cost and business-competitiveness parts of the promise, though it occurred after the original House term.

Congress.gov lists H.R. 26 as Passed House, not law. The summary says the bill would require Congress to approve all new major regulations and require agencies to offset annual costs of new rules to the U.S. economy.

This shows a first-term House effort toward reducing regulatory costs, but because the bill did not become law and the source does not by itself establish Mast's individual vote, it is weaker supporting context rather than delivery.
