But here’s the takeaway: Politicians are highly motivated to represent their constituents’ interests because ignoring them would cost them support and, ultimately, their jobs. From my years in Congress, I saw firsthand how much weight lawmakers place on constituent feedback.

Which brings us to the Trump tax cuts of 2017: These cuts, which provided an average American family with $1,500 in savings, are at risk of expiring. Renewing these cuts won’t be easy, even with Republican majorities, given the slim margins in both the House and Senate. We must act decisively to protect them. That’s where AFP comes in. Our grassroots army is fully mobilized, working across the country to rally support and ensure these tax cuts are preserved. But they can’t do it alone. Your voice is critical in this fight.
