Smith: House Passage of Reconciliation Bill Historic Win Years in the Making

Washington, DC — Today Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed, with his support, a legislative package to advance President Trump's priorities to enact tax relief, secure the border, promote energy abundance, and expand economic growth.

“Passage of this legislation is a hard-fought win for the American people and years in the making. Through unprecedented coordination and collaboration across numerous committees, House Republicans have fulfilled our commitments to bring tax relief and certainty to American families, seniors, small businesses, and our hardworking agriculture producers. I am pleased the package includes measures I have led to drive major investment empowering parental choice in education and end the IRS's unlawful, unfair, and expensive Direct File program. The bill prevents a more than $2 trillion tax increase on middle- and low-income Americans and opens the door to an historic era of American prosperity. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to swiftly pass it so President Trump can sign it into law.”
