Rep. Kelly Statement on Ways & Means Committee Meeting to Plan Future of Tax Reform & Obamacare

GOP committee members devise legislative agenda for 2017

WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) – a member of the House Ways and Means Committee – issued the following statement today regarding the conclusion of a two-day policy planning retreat hosted this week by the committee’s Republican members at the Jefferson Building of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.

“This week, while Congress was out of session, my Republican colleagues and I on the Ways and Means Committee went back to work in our nation’s capital to plan the first overhaul of our nation’s tax code in three decades and the responsible repeal and replacement of Obamacare. Our goals are crystal clear: a fairer tax code, a stronger economy, and long-awaited relief from Obamacare’s higher costs and broken promises. With the right principles guiding our work, the American people can look forward to a future with lower, simpler taxes and more affordable and accessible health care insurance that is choice-filled and patient-centered. As we look ahead to the new year, we are committed to working with President-elect Trump to fulfill our promises and govern with the mandate given to us by the American people.”
