"Today, I was proud to be the deciding vote to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, a historic victory for New Yorkers and President Trump's America First agenda.
More than 77 million Americans gave House Republicans and President Trump a mandate to cut taxes, secure our borders, restore energy independence, and deliver peace through strength.
This legislation includes key provisions that will benefit hardworking New York families. I was especially proud to work with my New York Republican colleagues to lead on delivering significant tax relief for New Yorkers by increasing the State and Local Tax cap by 300% – a win for hard working families struggling under the weight of the highest tax burden in the nation because of Gov. Kathy Hochul's failed Far Left tax and spend Democrat policies.
I urge the Senate to immediately pass our historic legislation to enact the One Big Beautiful Bill and ring in the Golden Age of America."
In a post to social Media, President Trump hailed the bill as the "most significant piece of Legislation that will ever be signed in the History of our Country!"
