My friend,

In case you missed it, yesterday President Trump outlined his tax priorities for this Congress:

No tax on tips
No tax on seniors' Social Security
No tax on overtime pay
Renewing the Trump Tax Cuts
Adjusting the SALT cap
Eliminating special tax breaks for billionaire sports team owners
Closing the carried interest loophole
Tax cuts for Made in America products

As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I’ve been pushing for a number of these policies to be included in the upcoming tax package to benefit our senior citizens and hardworking middle-class, and today I’m introducing two bills to lower the tax burden on America's seniors and allow them to keep more of their hard-earned money and Social Security benefits.

You can learn more about my tax priorities and how I'm working with the Trump Administration to make our country more affordable by reading my op-ed below.

Sincerely,

Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11)

THE STATEN ISLAND ADVANCE

President Trump and I are committed to delivering middle class tax relief (opinion)

One of the biggest tasks before Congress this year will be to ensure President Trump’s historic 2017 tax cuts don’t expire, something that would hurt our families, our economy and result in a $4 trillion tax increase on American families and businesses.

In the years following the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), our country saw millions of jobs added to the economy, record-low unemployment rates for women and minorities, large wage gains and lower federal taxes for more than 140 million families.

As a member of the House Committee on Ways and Means – the oldest and chief tax-writing committee in Congress – I recently met with President Trump to discuss strategies to help our economic recovery from the lingering effects of COVID (and the Biden Administration’s bad economic decisions). We agree that we must help provide relief to senior citizens, tipped workers and middle-class families struggling to get by, particularly in high tax states like New York.
