Assessments
The promised policy outcome was achieved when Public Law 119-21 was enacted on July 4, 2025, making permanent major individual tax provisions originally enacted in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Mast also took concrete federal legislative action toward the outcome, including voting for the final House concurrence on H.R.1 in 2025 and earlier voting for the 2018 House bill aimed at making TCJA provisions permanent. Because enactment occurred in a later congressional term than the original promise context, timing is later_term.
