Congressman Williams Statement on Passage of Tax Reform

November 16, 2017

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin), a small business owner and employer for 43 years, released the follow statement Thursday after the House passed H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act:

"Today, we took advantage of an opportunity to implement a tax plan that is pro-family and pro-growth for all Americans. This historic overhaul will benefit taxpayers for generations to come by allowing them to put more of their hard earned money back into their pockets. America needs a 21st century tax code for the 21st century family, and now is the time to deliver what we promised: a fairer and simpler tax code that will jumpstart this economy. I urge the Senate to vote on tax reform immediately so we can get this to the President's desk before the end of the year. America need tax cuts, and we must not let them down."
