Congresswoman Tenney Votes to Advance Budget Framework, Paving Way for Trump Tax Cuts and America First Agenda
Washington, DC – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today released the following statement on the passage of the Senate Amendment of Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025, which sets the top line numbers of the budget reconciliation process.
This legislation passed the House by a vote of 216-214.
"Americans gave Congressional Republicans a clear mandate: reduce out-of-control government spending, secure our borders, and reignite economic growth, and we will deliver,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “Today’s vote marks the next step in fulfilling that mandate: beginning the drafting process of the reconciliation bill. From here, we will begin writing the language for one big, beautiful bill. In this legislation, we are committed to preserving the historic tax cuts secured under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enhancing border security, unleashing American energy production, reeling in our national debt, and locking in DOGE savings. In addition, by passing this bill today, House Republicans reiterate our commitment to finding at least $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, saving the American people money from fraud, abuse and waste, while preserving essential programs.”
“Any effort to slow this momentum now would jeopardize our ability to deliver on what the American people overwhelmingly supported in the 2024 election, especially the Trump Tax Cuts. On December 31, 2025, the Trump Tax Cuts are set to expire, triggering an average 22% tax hike for American families. In addition, 2 million family-owned farms would have their death tax exemption slashed, and 40 million families would see their household child tax credit cut in half. Preserving and expanding these tax cuts is essential for the financial security of every hard-working American.”
“By kicking off this reconciliation process, House Republicans are taking decisive steps toward fulfilling our promises and advancing President Trump’s America First agenda.”
