WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Jason Lewis (MN-02) issued the following statement after voting for the Senate Amendment to H. Con. Res. 71 – the Fiscal Year 2018 Budget Resolution, as it passed the House today:
“I’m committed to delivering a tax cut for families in Minnesota’s 2nd District.
“As a member of the House Budget Committee, I’ve been working hard to get us to the point where the formal tax reform process can start for the first time in over 30 years. Hardworking Minnesota families can’t wait any longer for relief from the broken tax code.
“Today’s passage of the Budget puts us on a path to lower taxes on middle-class families and small businesses, a simplified filing system where you can complete your return on a postcard, and a more competitive business rate to encourage American companies to create jobs in our communities here at home. I’m proud to have supported tax reform by voting for the Budget today.”
