WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) released the following statement (Thursday, July 3) after the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which now heads to President Trump’s desk for signature:
“Today, Congress delivered a generational win for the American people. With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, we are launching the next great American comeback—and putting working families first once again.
“This bold, sweeping legislation rewrites the tax code to deliver the largest middle-class tax cut in history. It eliminates taxes on tips and overtime pay, provides substantial relief for senior citizens, expands the Child Tax Credit to help families thrive, and lifts the arbitrary cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction that punished homeowners in places like New York.
“It unleashes economic growth with 100% expensing for American-made manufacturing and makes the U.S. the best place in the world to build, hire, and invest.
“It secures our border with full funding for the wall and immigration enforcement, restores law and order, and reinstates commonsense work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving public assistance—an idea that once had broad bipartisan support under President Clinton.
“The bill cuts nearly $2 trillion in reckless Washington spending, protects our safety net for those truly in need, and ensures government works for taxpayers—not the other way around.
“It also delivers major wins for Upstate New York and rural America, including two of my bills—the Fair Milk Pricing for Farmers Act and the Dairy Farm Resiliency Act—bringing long-overdue fairness and stability to our dairy producers.
“This bill is the product of relentless work and a united Republican majority. While Democrats cling to fear tactics and failed ideas, we are delivering real, measurable results. On the very day this bill passed, we saw a booming jobs report and new trade deals announced. That’s not a coincidence—that’s the America First agenda in action.
“On the eve of Independence Day, this is more than legislation—it’s a powerful declaration: America is back. We are rebuilding our economy, securing our borders, restoring pride in work, and reaffirming that the American Dream is alive and well for the next generation.”
