With the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" finally ready to be signed into law after a final House of Representatives vote, several Florida Republicans issued statements in celebration.
Representative Kat Cammack (R-FL) said, "Florida's Third District is home to hardworking families, first responders, small businesses, and rural communities—and this bill reflects their priorities."
"It permanently extends the Trump Tax Cuts, preventing the largest tax hike in U.S. history," Rep. Cammack continued, adding, "Without these provisions, more than 452,000 taxpayers in FL-03 would face higher rates, over 81,000 families would see their Child Tax Credit cut in half, and local small businesses and farms would be devastated by rising taxes. This bill stops that."
Rep. Cammack further pointed out how the Big Beautiful Bill "also puts money back in families' pockets by eliminating federal taxes on tips, overtime, and car loan interest. It protects rural hospitals, cleans up waste in programs like SNAP and Medicaid, and ensures benefits go to those who truly need them—not illegal immigrants or elite institutions gaming the system."
Finally, she emphasized the increased funding for border security, including the hiring of more Border Patrol agents and Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) agents, as well as security technology and policies to prevent illegal entry.
"This is what Americans voted for last November. They demanded tax relief, secure borders, and real accountability in Washington, and that's exactly what this bill delivers. This is what the America First agenda looks like, and I'm proud to support it," The Florida Congresswoman concluded.
Similarly, Representative John Rutherford (R-FL) described the Big Beautiful Bill as giving "Americans a much-needed tax break and refocus our country on delivering on the promises made by President Trump for the American people like permanently closing the Southern Border, boosting our economy, offering historic tax relief for seniors, and revolutionizing our national security."
Rep. Rutherford also shot back against critics of the bill, saying, "Contrary to what you may have heard, this is not a huge deficit bill."
"In fact, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has scored this bill incorrectly, just as they did in 2017 by underestimating revenues from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by over $100 billion," Rep. Rutherford continued. "They were wrong then, so why would we trust them now?"
Representative Vern Buchanan (R-FL) similarly dismissed Democrats' criticism of the bill in his statement, "Democrats didn't just vote against the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill'—they voted for higher taxes on the American people, taxpayer-funded aid to illegals, and open borders. House Republicans are choosing economic prosperity, security, and relief for hardworking Americans."
Rep. Buchanan also characterized the Big Beautiful Bill as "the definition of promises made and promises kept."
Finally, Representative Scott Franklin (R-FL) said, "This landmark legislation is the result of months of hard work, negotiation, and determination."
"Despite repeated stalling tactics by House Democrats aimed at delaying or derailing the process, congressional Republicans stayed focused and got the job done—passing the bill ahead of the July 4th deadline, just as we promised," Rep. Franklin continued, noting that "While no bill is perfect, this one delivers meaningful progress on the issues that matter most to hardworking Americans."
"It's morning in America again. The people asked for a new direction. And under President Trump's leadership, we are delivering on that promise," Rep. Franklin concluded.
