AFP Lauds Passage of Tax Package through U.S. Senate
WASHINGTON, DC—Today, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) lauded the U.S. Senate for voting to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The package next goes to the U.S. House of Representatives for concurrence before President Trump can sign it into law.
AFP Chief Government Affairs Officer Brent Gardner issued the following statement after the bill passed the Senate:
“On behalf of AFP and our nationwide network of grassroots activists, I’m honored to thank Senate Majority Leader Thune, Majority Whip Barrasso, and all the committee chairs for their expeditious work to make the original 2017 Trump Tax Cuts permanent. It’s no small feat to move legislation this pivotal through the world’s greatest deliberative body.
“Congress is poised to deliver on the critical pro-growth tax policy Americans need to continue to remain on the pathway to prosperity. We call on the House to move with similar urgency to concur with the Senate and send this transformative legislation to President Trump’s desk. AFP will continue to rally the grassroots until Congress secures permanent tax relief for all Americans. We’re almost at the finish line and we’re ready for this final sprint.”
AFP has already begun an advertising and grassroots blitz in target House districts nationwide to urge Members to do what is right for the country and protect Americans from the largest tax increase in history.
