Washington, D.C. — Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, today voted to pass H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, landmark legislation that delivers on the promises of President Trump’s America First agenda. 
 
“Today, I voted to deliver on the promises made to the American people,” said Rep. Webster. “This Big, Beautiful, Bill fulfills President Trump’s agenda to restore fiscal responsibility, secure our borders, deliver historic tax relief for hardworking Americans, and put America first. It also takes a step in the right direction on one of my priorities – providing tax relief to seniors depending on their Social Security benefits.”
 
This bill enacts the largest tax cut in American history, lowering rates for working families, providing tax relief for senior citizens, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay, and expanding incentives for domestic manufacturing. It strengthens and protects essential programs for Americans by establishing commonsense work requirements and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. 
 
It also makes the largest investment into border security in American history, funding the completion of President Trump’s border wall, deploying thousands of new Border Patrol and ICE agents, and mandating mass deportation of illegal aliens to finally bring integrity back to our immigration system. Historic funding is provided to the United States Coast Guard to support their missions to stop illegal drugs and migrants from entering our country, ensure American sovereignty in the Arctic, and protect our national security.

Additionally, this bill stops the spigot of spending by delivering the largest deficit reduction in nearly thirty years with $1.6 trillion in savings.
 
Webster added, “My Republican colleagues and I are answering the call from the American people to put our country first. This bill marks a turning point for our nation – restoring fiscal discipline, protecting our sovereignty, and renewing the American spirit to usher in the next great American century.”
