Evidence

Congress.gov summary says Public Law 117-169 imposed a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax, imposed a 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases, provided IRS enforcement funding, and funded multiple federal programs.

The 2022 reconciliation law was a clear corporate tax-increase measure linked to federal spending and tax enforcement, making Gimenez's vote on it directly relevant to the promise.
