FreedomWorks Sends Letter in Support of Stalled Tax Bill

In an attempt to push the Senate to move on the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks president, sent a letter and commented:

“This session, the House has been broiled in a level of infighting and dysfunction not seen since Fleetwood Mac wrote and recorded the album Rumors. And yet, they found the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act important enough to pass 357 to 70. A bipartisan win in a chamber seemingly allergic to compromise.”

“Since then, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act has been stalled in the Senate. While some Republicans gripe over the child tax credit, and some Democrats over the business relief, Americans wait patiently for them to extend the pro-family and pro-growth measures enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This bill does just that.”

“It is because of this stalemate that I sent a letter to Sens. Schumer, McConnell, Wyden, and Crapo, urging them to bring the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act to the floor for a vote. ”

The letter from FreedomWorks to Leader Schumer, Leader McConnell, Chairman Wyden, and Ranking Member Crapo is attached and online as a PDF here. As the letter notes, “We look forward to including votes, including procedural votes, on our 2024 Congressional Scorecard.”
