The One Big Beautiful Bill Passes The U.S. Senate

Image

Donald Trump is the best friend the working class has ever had. The tax cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill deliver on his campaign promise to take care of them. The bill includes the biggest tax cut for working class Americans in history, a historic investment in border security, and funding to ensure our military has the resources it needs to keep America the most powerful nation in the world. It also makes the largest federal spending cut in history.

The bill is now before the U.S. House of Representatives for a vote.

Key provisions in the Big Beautiful Bill: 

  • $1.6 trillion reduction in federal spending
  • $175 billion in funding for border security and mass deportations
  • Funding to hire 18,000 ICE, customs, and border patrol officers and double capacity at detention facilities
  • Eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and social security for working class Americans
  • Protect Medicaid for our most vulnerable by removing 1.4 million illegal immigrants and implementing work requirements for abled-bodied Americans who are not caregivers
  • $150 billion to strengthen and modernize our military, including: (1) $25 billion for the Golden Dome, (2) $29 billion for ship building, (3) $23 billion to resupply munitions and rebuild critical mineral supply chains

Additionally, if this legislation is not signed into law, the average family in Indiana will see a $1,936 tax increase. Below is a breakdown of the average tax increase for families in Indiana’s nine congressional districts:

  • IN-01: +$1,818
  • IN-02: +$1,975
  • IN-03: +$2,031
  • IN-04: +$1,669
  • IN-05: +$3,280
  • IN-06: +$1,565
  • IN-07: +$1,297
  • IN-08: +$1,783
  • IN-09: +$1,857

I joined Fox News this week to share my thoughts on President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill. I was proud to support the biggest tax cut for working families in American history. 

This bill delivers on President Trump’s promises to secure the border and strengthen our military, while also making the largest spending cut ever. I’ll keep standing with President Trump in the Senate to get results for hardworking families in Indiana! Click here to watch me discuss on Fox News Sunday.

Question Of The Week

 

I recently cosponsored the Educational Choice for Children Act, a bill that would promote educational choice for elementary and secondary school students. 

 

Do you agree that parents, not the government, should decide which school best fits their child's needs?

U.S. Attorney Nominees Are Good For Indiana

Image

President Trump nominated two strong candidates to be the U.S. Attorneys for Indiana. Adam Mildred and Tom Wheeler have decades of experience and are deeply committed to upholding law and order. They both will bring integrity to the job and I look forward to voting for their confirmation soon. I’m also grateful for Acting U.S. Attorney Scott Proctor’s service to Indiana during this time.

This Is A Big Win For America

A single liberal judge shouldn't get to overrule the voices of 70+ million Americans who support a secure border. This is a big win for America!
