Press Release: Wisconsin Republicans Rally Support for Reconciliation Package
Madison, WI – Wisconsin’s members of Congress remained firm in their party lines as all Republicans voted in favor of the reconciliation package while both Democratic representatives opposed it. Congressman Tony Wied hailed the legislation as a triumph for American workers, highlighting its promise of lower taxes, a secure border, and reduced federal spending.
Congressman Scott Fitzgerald emphasized the package’s potential impact, claiming it’s the largest tax cut in U.S. history, providing an average $5,000 boost in take-home pay for families, while preserving the Trump Tax Cuts and enhancing the child tax credit. Fitzgerald noted the elimination of taxes on tips and overtime pay as crucial for protecting workers’ earnings.
Congressman Bryan Steil praised the bill for prioritizing American families and ensuring financial relief for seniors without sacrificing Social Security or Medicare. He underscored the identification of $1.5 trillion in savings for taxpayers.
In stark contrast, Congressman Tom Tiffany criticized Democratic votes, asserting they favored tax increases and benefits for undocumented immigrants.
With the reconciliation package now advancing to the Senate, GOP Senator Ron Johnson has expressed skepticism, previously referring to the initiative as "big, but not beautiful." Members brace for a contentious debate ahead.
