 On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H. Con. Res. 71 to establish the congressional budget for fiscal year 2018, set forth appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2019 through 2027 and pave the way for tax reform.

Rep. Mike Johnson (LA-04) voted in favor of the legislation and released the following statement:

“Sending this budget to the president’s desk is the first step in getting real relief to the American people. Through our vote today, we have paved the way for Congress to enact meaningful tax reform creating more jobs, bigger paychecks and a stable economy. Working-class families continue to suffer under oppressive policies that push the American dream further from their reach. Tax reform will unleash the free market again and ensure all Americans have the opportunity to grow.”
