Walker on Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: Reaches "Towards a Consensus Around Pro-Worker and Pro-Family Conservative Ideas"

Statement

U.S. Representative Mark Walker (R-N.C.) today issued the following statement after the release of the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act," the House Republican tax reform plan:

"It is imperative that we deliver on our promise to reform our broken tax code, and I look forward to helping ensure Congress keeps its word to the people of North Carolina. This tax reform bill reaches past the lowest common denominator and towards a consensus around pro-worker and pro-family conservative ideas. Washington will fight this reform, desiring to keep the carveout-laden status quo, but conservatives will prevail and produce a final bill focused on prosperity and growth for all in our community."

H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, can be read in full here, and a policy summary of the bill can be read here. With this bill, a typical middle-income family of four, earning $59,000 a year (the median household income), will receive a $1,182 tax cut.
