Congressman August Pfluger's Statement on the Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill
The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill today is a big, beautiful win for Texas families, workers, seniors, and small businesses. This legislation locks in President Trump's historic tax cuts — protecting taxpayers in my district from a devastating 26% tax increase, which would have been the largest in American history. It also delivers $13.5 billion in border reimbursements for states like Texas, and makes the most significant investments in border security ever seen.
This bill reclaims America's energy independence — lowering energy costs for families, creating high-paying jobs in the Permian Basin, and reversing President Biden's disastrous energy policies. I fought to make sure Texas values were reflected in this package: from much-needed support through strategic investments for farmers and ranchers, to ending forced taxpayer funding of abortion, to nearly $150 billion in military investments that will directly support the incredible men and women serving at Goodfellow Air Force Base and Fort Hood.
The American people are tired of business as usual in Washington. They demanded that we secure the border, eliminate wasteful spending, and make life genuinely affordable for hardworking American families – and this bill does exactly that.
Rep. Brandon Gill (of Texas) Votes to Pass President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill
The House of Representatives today voted 218 to 214 to pass President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which secures the border, delivers the largest mass deportation operation in American history, and delivers historic tax cuts for working-class families.
The legislation now heads to President Trump’s desk for his signature. Congressman Brandon Gill (R-TX) voted in favor of the bill.
“I am proud to support President Trump and his agenda,”
“This One Big Beautiful Bill implements everything that Americans voted for at the ballot box in November. It secures our border, funds the largest mass deportation operation in American history, and delivers the tax relief working families deserve. It is the most important piece of legislation we will vote on in this Congress.”
The One Big Beautiful Bill provides record funding to complete the border wall, expands and accelerates deportations of illegal aliens, and closes loopholes that have fueled the border crisis. The bill also delivers historic tax cuts for working-class families, ensuring Americans keep more of what they earn while strengthening the nation’s economy.
“Americans demanded border security, and we are delivering it. Americans demanded an end to the chaos, and we are delivering it. Americans demanded tax relief, and we are delivering it,” Rep. Gill said. “We are taking our country back.”
President Trump signed the bill into law last week.
