Promises Made, Promises Kept

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TAYLOR. Madam Speaker, during the month of August, I spent time in Ohio's Second Congressional District, talking with countless Ohioans about their priorities, touring family-owned businesses, and hearing from local farmers, manufacturers, and defense companies about the issues most important to them.

The thing I heard from constituents is how grateful they are that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act will help them stay in business, keep money in their pockets, and reinvigorate our local economies.

Small business owners operating shops on our Main Streets told me how the 199A tax credit will help them afford to stay in business so they can maintain their presence in our communities.

When I went to eat lunch at a local family restaurant, I talked with the waitresses about how much money they will be able to take home now that they are not being taxed on their tips.

When I talked with farmers, they expressed how the expanded funding for agriculture trade programs and investment in crop insurance will give them peace of mind about staying in business for years to come.

For Will Minshall, a young farmer in Pickaway County, Ohio, whose family farm is hitting 200 years in operation next year, the increased death tax exemption means it will be easier for his family to pass the farm on to him and future generations. With family farms making up 96 percent of all farms in my district, this is huge news for countless farming families in southern Ohio.

Through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, President Trump and Republicans are investing in American manufacturing and American jobs. I see the direct impact of this through Anduril's up-and-coming manufacturing facility in southern Ohio, which will provide thousands of well-paying jobs to Ohioans while keeping America a leader in aerospace, innovation, and defense manufacturing.

Finally, when touring Valero Energy, I heard excitement about the future now that President Trump is unleashing the American energy sector.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is paving the way for economic prosperity, and Ohio families are reaping the benefits. I was proud to support it and will continue advocating for the needs of Buckeye families in Congress.
