“In a watershed moment for the American people, Republicans’ One Big, Beautiful Bill is headed to President Trump’s desk,” said Congressman Alford. “This critical legislation delivers on our mandate by enacting the America First agenda. H.R. 1 includes the largest tax cut for middle- and working-class Americans in history, an historic investment in border security, and provisions to unleash domestic oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy production. In a strong step toward restoring fiscal sanity, we’re cutting almost $2 trillion in federal spending, rescinding billions in Green New Scam funding, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse from numerous federal programs. I was proud to support this legislation on the House floor.”
