Before celebrating the birth of the nation, Congress came back to D.C. to deliver on our promise to the American people and pass the One Big Beautiful Bill. My colleagues and I on the House Ways and Means Committee spent years listening to the American people about what is important to them, and the One Big Beautiful Bill delivers on those key issues.
Here's a few ways this historic piece of legislation serves the Seventh District:
- Keeps Minnesotans from facing a 24% tax hike.
- Increases the standard tax deduction for seniors to $6,000.
- Makes Death Tax exemption permanent and raises it to $15 million, helping family farms pass down their life's work to the next generation.
- Invests in national defense, funding the Golden Dome missile defense shield.
- Funds programs to deport illegal immigrants and completing the wall to secure our borders.
- Supports our small businesses by cutting red tape, making the 199A small business tax deduction permanent, and doubling the small business expensing limit to $2.5 million so they can grow and invest in their operations.
- Puts a stop to Green New Scam spending and funding for "climate justice" projects.
- Cuts waste, fraud, and abuse in the Medicaid program, making is stronger for the people the programs were intended for like children, pregnant women, and those with disabilities.
- Creates a $50 billion Rural Transformation Fund for state investments in rural health.
- Pulls federal tax dollars away from abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, redirecting funding to providers who love and support both mothers and their unborn children.
