Pfluger: My Statement on the Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill

The American people demanded that we secure the border, eliminate wasteful spending, and make life genuinely affordable for hardworking American families – and this bill does exactly that.

Texas Insider Report WASHINGTON, D.C.– The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill is a big, beautiful win for Texas families, workers, seniors, and small businesses. This legislation locks in President Trump's historic tax cuts — protecting taxpayers in my district from a devastating 26% tax increase, which would have been the largest in American history. It also delivers $13.5 billion in border reimbursements for states like Texas, and makes the most significant investments in border security ever seen.

This bill reclaims America's energy independence — lowering energy costs for families, creating high-paying jobs in the Permian Basin, and reversing President Biden's disastrous energy policies. I fought to make sure Texas values were reflected in this package: from much-needed support through strategic investments for farmers and ranchers, to ending forced taxpayer funding of abortion, to nearly $150 billion in military investments that will directly support the incredible men and women serving at Goodfellow Air Force Base and Fort Hood.

The American people are tired of business as usual in Washington. They demanded that we secure the border, eliminate wasteful spending, and make life genuinely affordable for hardworking American families – and this bill does exactly that.
