Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. KIM. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.J. Res. 142, disapproving of D.C.'s recent decision to decouple from key provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

This resolution ensures that D.C. residents can benefit from President Trump's historic tax cuts, just like hardworking families across the country.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same for my constituents in California's 40th District. Under Governor Newsom's rule, California has repeatedly chosen to decouple from Federal tax relief, denying hardworking families and small businesses much-needed breathing room after years of Bidenflation.

Californians are struggling with some of the highest taxes and cost of living in the Nation and are getting no relief from Governor Newsom and Democrats in Sacramento.

Mr. Speaker, I am proud to support this resolution because workers and families in D.C., California, and across the country deserve a chance to get ahead.

I hope this resolution inspires California's leaders to come to their senses and allow the full relief of the important wins in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that provided the working families tax cuts to take effect for Californians.
