WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) voted Wednesday evening to pass the House reconciliation bill, a comprehensive budget package that delivers permanent tax relief, helps secure the southern border, and strengthens accountability in government spending. The legislation, championed by President Trump as “one big, beautiful bill,” passed the House and now advances to the Senate with the goal of having a final bill on the President’s desk by Independence Day.
!
“President Trump and Republican majorities in Congress were elected to lower taxes, end illegal immigration, and reform a bloated bureaucracy,” said Bost. “This bill does all three, while protecting Social Security for seniors and ensuring Medicaid goes to vulnerable U.S. citizens – not illegal immigrants. I am proud to do my part to help President Trump advance the America First agenda and deliver on our promises to the American people.”
