WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Derrick Van Orden (WI-03) released the following statement after voting to pass H.R.1 – the One, Big, Beautiful Bill:
“This bill is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Americans – our seniors, veterans, families, farmers, manufacturers, and most vulnerable populations.
“My Democrat colleagues have been fearmongering and pushing blatant lies from day one, and that ends now. When this beautiful bill reaches President Trump’s desk, Americans will see their taxes go down, wages go up, and integrity and stability restored in critical programs like SNAP and Medicaid.
“This is what delivering real results for the people I represent looks like and what 77 million Americans and 1.7 Wisconsinites voted for.”
The One, Big, Beautiful Bill contains a variety of wins for the American people, including:
- Preventing the Death Tax from hitting over two million family-owned farms so they can be passed down to the next generation
- Making the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, preventing a 25% tax hike on Wisconsin families
- Making the Small Business Deduction permanent, and increasing it to 23%
- Eliminating taxes on overtime pay and tipped wages
- Providing billions of dollars in tax relief for low- and middle-income seniors
- Increasing funding for border security measures
