Costs and the economy
In short
Brian Poindexter's campaign says working families pay more as corporations post record profits, and that tax cuts go to the wealthy. Max Miller's campaign says too much tax burdens working families and cites his votes for permanent tax cuts and relief on tips and overtime. On the record, Miller voted for the 2025 tax law. It made the 2017 rates permanent and gave tips and overtime capped deductions that end after 2028, not full exemptions.

Max Miller: Matches stated direction
He voted for the 2025 tax law, which made the 2017 tax rates permanent and gave tips and overtime capped deductions that end after 2028, not a full exemption.
Full detail
His campaign says 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.
