Evidence

Congress.gov CRS summary says H.R. 2811 passed the House on April 26, 2023, and that the bill "repeals several energy tax credits." It specifically states that sections 228 and 232 would reduce or end credits for nonbusiness energy property and new clean electric vehicles.

During McGovern's 2023-2025 term after the 2022 campaign, H.R. 2811 included repeal or rollback of individual energy and clean-vehicle tax credits, which would raise taxes for eligible households that otherwise could claim those credits.

IRS states the new clean vehicle credit may be up to $7,500 and that modified AGI may not exceed $300,000 for married couples filing jointly, $225,000 for heads of households, and $150,000 for other filers.

IRS eligibility rules show the clean vehicle credit targeted taxpayers below the $400,000 threshold; repealing or terminating it raises tax liability for eligible under-$400,000 families that would otherwise claim it.

Congress.gov says H.R. 1 became Public Law No. 119-21 on July 4, 2025. The CRS summary says section 70604 establishes a 1% excise tax on remittance transfers, imposed on the sender and collected by the transfer provider.

In McGovern's later federal term, H.R. 1 became law and included at least one direct individual excise tax that can apply regardless of whether a sender's family income is below $400,000.

IRS states: "The New Clean Vehicle Credit is not available for vehicles acquired after Sept. 30, 2025" and that the page covers changes under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill.

This official IRS implementation evidence confirms Public Law 119-21 ended an individual tax credit available to taxpayers below $400,000; McGovern voted against the bill on both House passage and final concurrence.

Assessments

McGovern promised to oppose legislation raising taxes on families making under $400,000. In the 2023-2025 term following the 2022 campaign, H.R. 2811 passed the House with provisions repealing or reducing individual energy and clean-vehicle tax credits available to under-$400,000 households, which would increase tax liability for eligible families. McGovern voted Nay on House passage, satisfying the promise to oppose such legislation. His later Nay votes on H.R. 1 in 2025 further support the same pattern, but same-term delivery is already established.
