It’s the dawn of a new era in America. After four long years of going from crisis to crisis, a major shakeup in Washington is coming in January. I am eager and ready to work side-by-side with President Donald Trump to get America back on the right track and undo all the damage the Biden-Harris administration inflicted on our great nation. Under Trump, America will be prosperous again. As Chairman of Congress’s tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, I’m excited to work hand-in-hand with him on one... READ MORE
Over the last several months, Washington Democrats and the liberal media have gone into overdrive trying to mislead Americans into believing that the Biden-Harris administration’s economic agenda has been a success. It’s just one of many examples of how out of touch they are with real Americans – the farmers, workers, and small businesses who have struggled to get by month after month since President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took office. As Americans know full well, the Biden a... READ MORE
Every Labor Day, we celebrate the hardworking men and women who make America the envy of the world. They wake up early, show up to work every day, and put in long hours to create a better future for their families – just like my mom, a factory worker, and my dad, an auto mechanic, did for ours. I’m so grateful for how hard my parents worked to put clothes on our backs and food on the dinner table. And I’m incredibly proud that I grew up in a working-class family. It shaped who I am and the polic... READ MORE
On August 16, I brought the Ways and Means Committee to the Iowa State Fair to hear from hard-working Midwesterners about the positive impact the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts had on them. This was part of an ongoing effort to hear firsthand from America’s workers, families, farmers, and small businesses so that we can craft the best policies and prevent the Washington Democrats’ plan that would hit Americans with a $7 trillion tax hike – the largest in U.S. history. It was one of the many hearings Congre... READ MORE
No matter how you look at it, the Biden-Harris administration has been an absolute disaster. We have a southern border that’s in pure chaos because of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s radical immigration policies. The cost of living has skyrocketed by more than 20% since Biden and Harris took office and began their out-of-control spending spree. There is no question America isn’t heading in the right direction. And when you look back at the policies of this administration, ... READ MORE
On June 8, the Israeli military launched a daring mission to free four hostages who were held captive for months by evil Hamas terrorists in Gaza. I’m incredibly grateful that these innocent people are safe and back at home with their families, and I pray that the other hostages – including Americans – will also come home soon. Following the successful rescue mission, we learned that a so-called “journalist” working for a publication called The Palestine Chronicle – part of an organization, the ... READ MORE
Last week, President Biden called for the expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, President Trump’s signature legislation that jump started the best economy of my lifetime and that continues to provide needed tax relief to working families today. In one statement, the president promised American workers, families, farmers, and small businesses that they would see their taxes go up – breaking his promise that families making less than $400,000 would not receive a tax increase. In fact, Biden’s p... READ MORE
On March 7th, President Joe Biden delivered a State of the Union address that will go down as the most divisive in American history. He turned the annual tradition into a campaign event, launching attack after attack against his political opponent and rural communities. He painted Americans who believe in the right to life as extremists, and directly attacked the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade. He falsely claimed that Republicans are responsible for his border crisis, and that we want... READ MORE
When my colleagues selected me to lead the Ways and Means Committee in Congress, which has responsibility for writing our tax laws, I promised that my number one priority would be looking out for the interests of working-class Americans, small businesses, and family farmers. From day one in my role as Chairman, I have worked around the clock to write legislation that would deliver on that promise. The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, a pro-worker, pro-family, and pro-American ta... READ MORE
After President Donald Trump took office in 2017, he and I worked hand-in-hand to put together a tax reform bill that would put American workers, families, farmers, and small businesses first. What we came up with was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), landmark legislation that led to a nearly 5% increase in wages for American workers, a full 1% increase in economic growth over the average of the previous decade, and the lowest unemployment and poverty rates in 50 years. Unfortunately, some of th... READ MORE
