Statement
Date: May 27, 2021
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Minors and Children Infrastructure
Today, U.S. Representatives Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), and Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.), alongside U.S. Senators Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.), released the following statement after reports that Republicans proposed reversing the Child Tax Credit expansion to pay for their infrastructure proposal:
"The expansion of the Child Tax Credit will provide a significant lifeline to the middle class and cut child poverty nearly in half. It is absolutely outrageous that our Republican colleagues have proposed raising taxes on American families -- and doubling child poverty -- by clawing back the CTC expansion to pay for an infrastructure bill."
