Rep. Burchett Statement on the Passage of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"

Washington, D.C. (July 3, 2025) – Today, U.S. Congressman Tim Burchett voted YES on the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The reconciliation bill advances President Trump’s agenda by renewing the President’s tax cuts, securing our border, modernizing aviation, all while including the largest mandatory spending cut in history.  

“After numerous discussions with President Trump, Speaker Johnson, and my colleagues in the House, I decided that a YES vote is the best way to help the people of East Tennessee.” said Congressman Burchett.  

The legislation permanently extends the Trump Tax Cuts, includes the President’s promises of No Tax on Tips, Made in America Auto Tax Breaks, and tax deductions for seniors on social security.  

“Without renewing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a family of four in Tennessee making $70,000 would see their taxes increase by $1,399 in 2026. Tennessee has always prided itself in being one of the lowest-taxed states in the nation, and I am proud to help keep it that way.”  

The bill also protects and preserves Medicaid by rooting out waste, fraud and abuse. It removes deceased individuals, closes loopholes that allow illegal aliens to receive benefits, and ensures people who rely on Medicaid will have better access to the resources that they need.   

“If you truly care about protecting and preserving Medicaid to ensure that it adequately serves the least amongst us, then you should be proud of this legislation.”
