U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady (TX-08), lead author of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, today released the following statement after President Donald Trump signed this historic legislation into law:\r\nToday is truly a historic day for the American people. By signing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, President Trump put our nations broken tax code behind us and ignited a new era of American prosperity. This legislation will deliver real relief to hardworking families in my district and across the country who will be able to keep more of the money they earn. It will create more opportunities for workers to find that next new job, earn that long-overdue raise, and get ahead. And it will revitalize our economy so American businesses can once again compete and win anywhere in the world  but especially here at home.\r\nAs Ive said before, comprehensive tax reform is the biggest legislative challenge of any generation. But with President Trumps leadership, we were able to overcome that challenge and deliver on our promise to the American people. Im proud to say there will be a new tax code  a pro-growth, pro-family, pro-America tax code  in the New Year.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n    \r\n        \r\n            \r\n        \r\n    \r\n\r\n  \r\nPresident Trump and Congressman Brady shaking hands at White House Press Conference on December 20th, 2017. \r\nCLICK HERE to see how much tax relief the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will deliver to middle-income families in every Congressional district who will take the new, larger standard deduction.\r\nCLICK HERE to learn more about the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.\r\nPERMALINK\r\n    \r\n  \r\n  \r\n  \r\n    \r\n      f \r\n      t \r\n      #\r\n      e", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://kevinbrady.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=401014"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8033790402114391, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
