Kelly backs budget resolution, paves way for border security funding, lower taxes

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), Chairman of the Ways & Means Subcommittee on Tax, voted in favor of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget resolution, which formally begins the budget process for the year ahead. The resolution serves as a framework for House Republicans to advance President Trump's legislative priorities, including border funding, energy policy, and tax cuts.

"The American people made it clear in November: they want Congress to secure all of our nation's borders, rein in wasteful spending, and expand American energy production. This budget resolution does just that," Rep. Kelly said. "2025 is the Super Bowl of Tax. This 'one big beautiful bill' seeks to deliver on the entirety of President Trump's agenda and fulfill our commitment to the American people."

Major portions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are set to expire in 2025. In April 2024, Rep. Kelly and Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) announced the formation of ten Committee Tax Teams, comprised of Ways and Means Republican members, to address key tax provisions from the 2017 Trump tax cuts that are set to expire in 2025 and identify legislative solutions that will continue to help families, workers, and small businesses struggling in the Biden economy. This included a historic Ways & Means field hearing in Erie in May 2024.
