(November 16, 2017) \u2013 Today, Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) released the following statement after the House passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1), the House plan to provide tax relief to millions of hardworking families and create more jobs, fairer taxes, and bigger paychecks.\n\u201cThis is a historic moment. It\u2019s been 31 years since the tax code was fundamentally reformed,\u201d said McMorris Rodgers.\n\u201cWe\u2019re looking out for middle class families who deserve the same chance as everyone else to get ahead. The hardworking men and women of America deserve a tax code that puts them first. We\u2019ve created a plan that rewards hard work, encourages innovation and entrepreneurship, and levels the playing field so that everyone plays by the same rules.\n\u201cOur plan to lift the tax burden off Americans puts more money back in people\u2019s paychecks and helps Americans go from garage to global success. We\u2019re bringing jobs back from overseas and strengthening Main Street. Our plan simplifies the tax code, closes loopholes, and creates peace of mind for Americans everywhere.\n\u201cThank you to all of the House Ways and Means members, and especially Chairman Brady, for putting forth a plan that delivers significant tax relief and rewrites the tax code to put hard working Americans first.\u201d\nNOTE: This morning, Rep. McMorris Rodgers joined America\u2019s Newsroom to preview today\u2019s historic vote on pro-family, pro-growth tax reform and President Trump\u2019s visit to Capitol Hill.
