Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filing window and the reconciliation in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

The border: what he has voted for
Matches stated direction
What they say
His campaign says lawlessness at the southern border has brought illicit drugs and human trafficking, and that he will continue to fight to maintain a secure border.
“Max will continue to fight to maintain the secure border.”
Four border measures reached a recorded vote on passage in the 119th Congress and he voted Yea on all four: the Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act on January 16, 2025 (Roll Call 17), the Subterranean Border Defense Act and the Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act on March 10 (Roll Calls 63 and 65), and the Special Interest Alien Reporting Act on June 26 (Roll Call 184). All four passed the House and were referred to committee in the Senate. None has become law.
Limit: Four recorded votes in one Congress, all in the direction the claim states. None of the four became law, so nothing here shows the border changing; and a vote on a named bill is not a score of his whole record on the subject. On the first of them he also voted Nay on a motion to recommit, which is a vote for the bill rather than against it.

Law enforcement: funding and support
Matches stated direction
What they say
His campaign says he will fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement.
“Max will fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement.”
He voted Yea on passage of four law-enforcement measures in the 119th Congress: the Agent Raul Gonzalez Officer Safety Act on February 13, 2025 (Roll Call 42), the Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act and the Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act on May 15 (Roll Calls 130 and 131), and the Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act on November 19 (Roll Call 299). All four passed the House and went to the Senate; none has become law.
Limit: The claim has two halves and these votes answer one of them. They go to officer safety, wellness data, and the purchase of a service weapon, which is support; none of the four is an appropriation, so the funding half is not settled by them. None became law.

Energy: production and costs
Matches stated direction
What they say
His campaign says he will keep supporting policies for American energy independence and for reducing the cost of gas and electricity.
“Max will continue to support the policies of the Trump administration to develop American energy independence and reduce the costs of gas and electricity.”
He voted Yea on passage of the Protecting American Energy Production Act on February 7, 2025 (Roll Call 35), the GRID Power Act on September 18 (Roll Call 279), and the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act on September 4 (Roll Call 239). The first two passed the House and were referred in the Senate; the appropriations bill was read a second time and placed on the Senate calendar. On the first and third he also voted Nay on motions to recommit, which are votes for those bills rather than against them.
Limit: Three recorded votes in the direction the claim states. What a bill would do to the price of gas or electricity is not something a roll call shows, and none of these has become law.

Taxes: the votes he names
Matches stated direction
What they say
His campaign says he has voted to support making tax cuts permanent, no tax on tips, and no tax on overtime.
“That’s why he has voted to support making tax cuts permanent, no tax on tips, and no tax on overtime.”
He cast those votes. The House Clerk records him voting Yea on passage of H.R. 1 of the 119th Congress on May 22, 2025 (Roll Call 145) and Aye on concurring in the Senate amendment on July 3, 2025 (Roll Call 190); it became Public Law 119-21 the next day. What the law does differs by part. It makes permanent the individual tax rates of 10, 12, 22, 24, 32, 35 and 37 per cent and other provisions first enacted in 2017. For tips and overtime it creates deductions rather than exemptions: the overtime deduction is capped at 12,500 dollars, 25,000 for joint filers, runs only through 2028, and phases out above 150,000 dollars of modified adjusted gross income.
Limit: He voted as he says on the bill he means, and the permanence half of the claim is exact. "No tax on" is the campaign's shorthand for capped deductions that expire in 2028, which is not the same as removing the tax. On the same day as the passage vote he voted Nay on Roll Call 144, a motion to recommit; that is a procedural vote against sending the bill back, not a vote against the bill.

Jobs: workforce development and career and technical education
Matches stated direction
What they say
His campaign says he has made it his mission to expand workforce development and career and technical education opportunities.
“Max has made it his mission to expand workforce development and career and technical education opportunities that create prosperity for individuals & build a stronger future for America.”
He has sponsored on the subject in both Congresses he has served: the American Workforce Act in the 118th and again in the 119th, the Career and Technical Education Advocacy Grant Program Act in the 118th, and the Foster Youth Workforce Opportunity Act in the 119th, which reached the Union Calendar. None became law. Congress.gov records forty-six sponsored items for him across the two Congresses and none of them has become law.
Limit: Repeated sponsorship across two Congresses is evidence of the mission the claim describes. Sponsoring is not enacting, and none of these bills became law; a member's influence on a subject can also run through committee work and amendments, which a sponsorship record does not show.
