U.S. House passes Rep. Kelly's resolution touting success of Working Families Tax Cuts

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H. Res. 1156, a resolution introduced by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), Chairman of the Ways & Means Subcommittee on Tax, expressing the support for tax policies that support working families.

"In Western Pennsylvania, when people say they work a "half day," it's likely they mean 12 hours, not four. Folks here are like so many of their fellow Americans across the country: they know the value of an honest day's work for an honest day's pay," said Rep. Kelly. "The Working Families Tax Cuts reward hard work today while saving you money for tomorrow. Thanks to these incredible new policies, including No Tax on Tips and No Tax on Overtime, this law leverages the tax code to work for Americans, not against them. From employers to employees, from children to seniors, the Working Families Tax Cuts make historic investments in Western Pennsylvania and the United States, both for today and for generations to come."

Kelly's resolution champions the success of the Working Families Tax Cuts, the historic tax legislation passed by the House, Senate, and signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025. This year, the law delivered an estimated $222 billion in refunds, an average tax cut of $3,750 for American taxpayers. Pennsylvania households received an average tax cut of $3,500 this year.
