Wednesday\u2019s report from the Commerce Department showed that gross domestic product (GDP) grew at a rate of 4.3% in the third quarter. This is the fastest rate of growth in two years and well above economists\u2019 expectations of 3.2% growth.\n\n\u201cToday\u2019s growth figures are the latest sign that investing in workers, families, and small businesses is the key to strong, sustainable growth,\u201d said Congressman Mackenzie. \u201cMore work remains, but after entering the year and finding an economic situation that was far weaker than initially thought, we are making progress towards building an economy that delivers for the American people. I\u2019ll keep working to unleash American energy; cut unnecessary red tape; and support workers, seniors, and small businesses.\u201d\n\nCongressman Mackenzie has helped to pass a range of pro-growth policies since beginning his term in January. This includes:\n\nTax relief for every American, including families, seniors, and workers.\n\n$750 increase to the standard deduction.\n\nRaised the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 (had been set to fall back to $1,000).\n\nEstablished a $6,000 bonus deduction for seniors \u2014 eliminating taxes on social security for 88% of seniors.\n\nAnd more.\n\nPreventing the expiration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which would have resulted in a 22% tax increase for the average taxpayer.\n\nPermanently extending the 20% Small Business Deduction, benefiting over 30 million small businesses.\n\nPermanently allowing 100% immediate expensing for business investments, helping small businesses to grow and expand.\n\nRolling back the failed, one-size-fits-all energy policies of the Biden era and embracing an all-of-the-above policy.\n\nReining in red tape that strangles small businesses.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "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://mackenzie.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-mackenzie-hails-strong-q3-gdp-report"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5839189291000366, "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"}
