Letlow Statement on Passage of Trump Agenda

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Julia Letlow released the following statement on congressional passage of President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

“With passage of President Trump’s pro-family agenda, we have provided tax relief for the middle class and saved every American from a tax increase. Our working families and seniors will see new relief through a bigger child tax credit, eliminating taxes on tips, and a tax cut for retirees on Social Security. Our farmers will have much-needed certainty with the reauthorization of key Farm Bill policies, updated reference prices for commodities, and lower taxes. Now that we have extended the Trump Tax Cuts and supported Louisiana’s families and our economy, I will continue to advocate for my district as the Big Beautiful Bill is implemented.”

Highlights of the One Big Beautiful Bill:

• Permanently extends the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts, protecting American families from an average $1,700 tax hike.
• No taxes on tips up to $25,000 annually.
• No taxes on overtime pay up to $12,500 annually.
• Permanently extends the doubled standard deduction for middle class families and provides an additional $1,500 deduction.

• Permanently extends the 20% small business deduction for family-owned farms and other small businesses.
