Congresswoman Claudia Tenney of New York’s 24th District announced her support for the Senate Amendment of Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. The legislative action proceeded in the House with a narrow vote of 216-214. This resolution serves as a blueprint for the budget reconciliation process.
Tenney remarked, “Americans gave Congressional Republicans a clear mandate: reduce out-of-control government spending, secure our borders, and reignite economic growth, and we will deliver.” She emphasized that the recent vote marks a critical step towards developing the language for a reconciliation bill focused on sustaining the tax cuts provided under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, strengthening border security, boosting energy production within the U.S., addressing the national debt, and ensuring DOGE savings.
Expanding on the impact of upcoming tax changes, Tenney highlighted, “Any effort to slow this momentum now would jeopardize our ability to deliver on what the American people overwhelmingly supported in the 2024 election, especially the Trump Tax Cuts. On December 31, 2025, the Trump Tax Cuts are set to expire, triggering an average 22% tax hike for American families. In addition, 2 million family-owned farms would have their death tax exemption slashed, and 40 million families would see their household child tax credit cut in half.”
She added that the initiation of the reconciliation process signified a commitment by House Republicans to progress President Trump’s “America First” agenda, noting, “By kicking off this reconciliation process, House Republicans are taking decisive steps toward fulfilling our promises and advancing President Trump’s America First agenda.”
