Congressman Glenn Grothman (WI-06) celebrated major victories today following the House passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a landmark reconciliation bill that advances President Trump’s America First agenda, delivers crucial tax relief, and reins in waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government. 

The legislation protects Americans from devastating tax increases by making President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent. Without action, families in Wisconsin’s Sixth District were facing an average $1,486 tax hike. By locking in the cuts, this bill protects the paychecks of hardworking Americans and ensures they keep more of their hard-earned money. It also eliminates taxes on tips and overtime pay, delivers additional tax relief for seniors, and strengthens the economy for middle-class families. 

In addition to economic relief, the bill strengthens national security by fully funding President Trump’s border wall system and increasing immigration enforcement. It restores commonsense work requirements for able-bodied adults receiving taxpayer-funded benefits, ensuring safety-net programs like Medicaid are preserved for those who truly need them. 

The bill includes Congressman Grothman’s FEHB Protection Act, which imposes new verification measures and audits on the Federal Employees Health Benefits program to remove ineligible beneficiaries, a reform projected to save taxpayers more than $2 billion.  

It also includes parts of Grothman’s CREATE JOBS Act, including extending the bonus depreciation provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, preserving full expensing for research and development investments, and applying neutral cost recovery to manufacturing commercial structures through 2029. These provisions will fuel job creation, support American manufacturing, and foster economic innovation.  

“The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill is a historic victory for Americans, as we’ve avoided the largest tax hike in our nation’s history,” said Grothman. “The American people gave us a mandate after four years of failure under President Biden to revive prosperity in our country. I’m proud to stand with Congressional Republicans and President Trump to deliver a bill that works in the best interests of Americans. The One Big Beautiful Bill strengthens our government programs for the people they were intended to serve, while rooting out the waste, fraud, and abuse that have plagued our systems for far too long. Hardworking Americans will see the benefits of our commonsense conservative policies. I was proud to vote yes to help move America toward further greatness.”
