U.S. Representative Ted Budd (R-NC) released the following statement after the passage of the fiscal year 2018 budget resolution:
"The swift passage of the budget shows promise for the American people who are in desperate need of tax relief. Today, the House took a crucial first step towards reforming our country's tax code - something we haven't done in over thirty years. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the coming weeks to pass a bill that will give working-class Americans a raise and simplify the tax filing process for years to come."
