President Trump Inaugurated | Boosting the Economy by Extending the Trump Tax Cuts

.Dear Friend,

Today, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States of America. Unfortunately, the weather impacted plans for Kansans and many others to attend the inauguration. The important thing is that we can now work with the new President on an agenda to revitalize our nation. The last time a president was inaugurated inside was in 1985 – the second inauguration of President Ronald Reagan.

While I am eager to start and am excited about the prospects that come with this Republican governing majority, it will take time for the new administration to be up and running. But, our House Republican majority is ready to work with the Republican-led Senate and President Trump to reverse the damage done over the last four years and secure our southern border, lower inflation, boost our economy by extending the Trump Tax Cuts, rein in reckless spending and so much more.

My colleagues and I have been hard at work since the start of this Congress to prepare for today. We’ve reintroduced important bills, like the Laken Riley Act to strengthen border security, in order to take action with President Trump in the White House. Likewise, in the Ways and Means Committee, we’ve continued to build on our efforts from last Congress to make the Trump Tax Cuts permanent so that we avoid a tax hike and can allow you to keep more of your hard-earned money.

Today marks a new day in America. I’m honored to represent you in our nation’s capital as we work with the President to grow our economy and reduce inflation, secure the border and make America respected again, restore our energy dominance, and support farmers and ranchers.

Sincerely,

Member of Congress

Headline: Boosting the Economy by Extending the Trump Tax Cuts

.For the past four years, you and I have suffered under historic inflation thanks to the damaging policies of the Biden administration. Kansans need economic relief, and the Trump Tax Cuts are a surefire way to deliver it. That’s why the Ways and Means Committee dedicated our first hearing of the 119th Congress to discussing the need to make the Trump Tax Cuts permanent.

If the provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are allowed to expire, the average taxpayer in Kansas will see a $2,200 tax increase. But, by extending the 2017 tax cuts, we will avoid this tax hike and allow Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money. You can listen to my full remarks below.

Headline: Honoring the life & legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

.Today we recognize and celebrate the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Our country honors his service as a civil rights leader and is continually inspired by his lifelong examples of love and grace.

.Last week, in advance of the inauguration, I joined Andy Hooser to discuss all that needs to be addressed in the new Congress and with the new president. I shared that House Republicans will prioritize efforts to secure our southern border, lower inflation, boost our economy by extending the Trump Tax Cuts and more. You can listen to the full interview below.

.Last week, an agreement was reached to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas. These innocent victims have been in captivity for more than a year since the brutal attacks that occurred on Oct. 7, 2023. Our nation has not forgotten those held hostage, including some Americans, and we rejoice that they will finally return home, while looking forward to a day when all of the remaining hostages are released.

.Did you know there is a mountain range in Kansas? A portion of the Ozark Mountains are in the southeastern region of Kansas. The Ozark Mountains span the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Kansas. However, only 55 square miles of the 47,000 square mile range are located in Kansas.
