Rubio, Lee Statement on House Republican Tax Reform Bill

Nov 2, 2017 | Press Releases

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Mike Lee (R-UT) released the following statement today regarding the tax reform bill unveiled by House Republicans:

“We appreciate the hard work and countless hours our colleagues in the House have put into crafting this legislation. As we’ve long said, tax reform should be about making the code more pro-growth and pro-family. The House bill is an important step in the process.
                                                              
“The best way to provide real relief to working families is through a straightforward, significant, and permanent expansion of the child tax credit. We wish the House draft had done more on this front—preferably doubling the credit to $2,000 per child and expanding its applicability to payroll taxes. We look forward to working with our colleagues to make sure working families are moved to the front of the line in the Senate bill.”
