In today’s Ways and Means Committee hearing, I discussed how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is letting middle-class workers and families keep more of their money by doubling the standard deduction. While some in Congress want to reverse course and raise taxes, I asked today’s expert witnesses how many of them favored overturning the standard deduction provision.

Tonight I’m in Washington to vote against Speaker Pelosi’s $3 trillion spending bill. This is a partisan attempt to take advantage of a crisis to pass a socialist wish list and reckless spending. Instead, Congress needs to work together on meaningful legislation for Kansans and Americans. | Congressman Ron Estes
