WASHINGTON, D.C. – After meeting with President Trump and several of his Senate Finance Committee colleagues at the White House today, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) expressed confidence that the Senate will approve the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, which will help the middle class, create more jobs, and increase wages for American workers:
“We had a good meeting today, and I want to thank the president for supporting our effort to deliver on the promise to cut taxes for middle-class families and reform a broken tax code," Portman said.
"I am confident that the Senate will pass this bill, and we will have a good bill on the president’s desk before Christmas. Our tax code is long overdue for reform, and it’s critical we get this done to help middle-class families, to help create more jobs, and to increase wages for American workers.
"Under our plan, a median income Ohio family will save $2,375 annually on their tax bill that they can instead use for gas or groceries, a car payment, retirement, college savings, or a family vacation. I look forward to the debate this week and passing this bill on behalf of middle-class families.”
