Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Both cited sources are reachable and directly document this promise's outcome. KSHB 41 confirms Kelly signed the "Axe the Food Tax" bill into law on May 11, 2022, that it eliminates the state grocery sales tax by 2025, and evidences her championing (she branded the effort, brought an axe to the signing, and vowed to push the legislature to accelerate the timeline). KCUR/NPR confirms verbatim the phased schedule: 6.5% cut to 4% on Jan 1, 2023, to 2% in 2024, and to zero by Jan 1, 2025, and that Kelly signed it after advocating for faster elimination. Both cited quotes appear in the sources as written. The state grocery tax reached 0% on Jan 1, 2025, fully delivering the promised outcome, and Kelly led/drove the effort beyond merely signing — CHAMPIONED is well-supported and not overstated by the evidence.
