During the tour, Rep. Nunn and Acting Secretary Sonderling met with Iowa workers, manufacturers, and restaurant employees to discuss how the Working Families Tax Cuts are helping workers keep more of what they earn through tax relief on overtime and tips while giving small businesses greater certainty to invest and grow.\n\nFull details on the visit are available here. B-roll is available here and embedded below.\n\n\u201cThe best way to measure whether a policy is working is to hear directly from the people it\u2019s affecting,\u201d said Rep. Nunn. \u201cToday\u2019s conversations made it clear that working families are keeping more of what they earn through tax relief on overtime and tips, while Iowa manufacturers and small businesses have the certainty they need to invest, expand, and create good-paying jobs. That\u2019s exactly what we set out to accomplish.\u201d\n\n\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s Working Families Tax Cuts are igniting economic growth and delivering results for American workers,\u201d said Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling. \u201cThis Administration\u2019s pro-growth policies like full expensing of new equipment and capital expenditures are benefitting Iowa businesses, while Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned paychecks thanks to no federal tax on tips or overtime. Under the President\u2019s leadership, the Department of Labor will continue to support a wave of new investments and jobs that will spur growth in the Hawkeye State and nationwide.\u201d\n\nAt Auto-Jet Muffler Corporation, which manufactures specialized aftermarket exhaust systems for trucks and heavy equipment, Rep. Nunn and Acting Secretary Sonderling walked the production floor with Owner John Rapp and General Manager Kelle Vos. Discussions focused on the law\u2019s permanent 20 percent small business deduction, expanded incentives for capital investment, and the new tax deduction for overtime income.\n\nThe pair later met with servers, restaurant owners, and hospitality leaders at Whiskey River Bar & Grille in Ankeny to discuss the law\u2019s new deduction for tip income, allowing eligible workers to deduct up to $25,000 in qualified tip earnings and keep more of what they\u2019ve earned.\n\nB-roll from the visit is available here and photos are available here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-08-07T06:11:19Z", "2026-08-07T06:12:42Z"]], "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://nunn.house.gov/2026/08/05/watch-nunn-acting-labor-secretary-sonderling-tour-clive-manufacturer-and-ankeny-restaurant-to-highlight-tax-relief-for-workers/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6594520527869463, "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"}
