Assessments

delivered same_term

Comer promised to support tax reduction and regulatory rollback, not necessarily to single-handedly enact them. In the 2023-2025 House term following the 2022 campaign, he voted for H.R.7024, a House-passed tax relief and business-growth package, and for H.R.277, the REINS Act, a major regulatory-control bill. Later, in the next term, he also voted for enacted tax-reduction and deregulatory measures, reinforcing fulfillment. Because the promised action was support and he took concrete same-term votes aligned with both parts of the promise, this counts as delivered in the same term.
