U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) -- a member of the House Ways and Means Committee -- voted this afternoon in support of the House-Senate Conference Committee Report for H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 227-203. The U.S. Senate is expected to consider the legislation this evening. Once passed, the bill will advance to the White House to be signed into law by President Donald J. Trump.
Statement by Rep. Kelly following House vote:
"I think I cast the most important vote I've ever cast while representing you, Pennsylvania's Third Congressional District: I just voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs bill. It is an incredible piece of legislation that means more take-home pay for everyday working people. It also makes us competitive globally so jobs don't leave the country--they come back home and they stay home. What a great day for America, what a great day for every one of us!."
