Mimi Walters on the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act | 2015-12-17 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Republican | House | CA | Mimi Walters | W000820 | walters.house.gov | legacy | Washington, D.C. U.S. Representative Mimi Walters (CA-45) today released the following statement after voting in support of H.R. 2029, the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015. This legislation would make permanent over 20 tax relief provisions, extend several tax provisions, and place a 2-year moratorium on Obamacares medical device tax. H.R. 2029 passed the U.S. House by a vote of 318-109 and now awaits consideration by the U.S. Senate. Said Rep. Mimi Walters, This important piece of legislation will provide certainty and relief to the American people by making several tax provisions permanent. Imagine the yearly frustration businesses and individuals across the country are faced with when Congress cannot resolve their differences on temporary tax provisions. Providing permanent tax relief will give businesses the confidence to hire new employees and allow Americans to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks - which will result in a more robust and dynamic economy. Furthermore, this legislation puts a moratorium on one of Obamacares most harmful taxes - the medical device tax. Im pleased that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle were able to come together and put forward this common-sense, pro-growth bill that will pave the way for comprehensive tax reform. I urge the Senate to act swiftly in sending this bill to the Presidents desk. Walters represents Californias 45th District and sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure and Judiciary Committees. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
