Today, U.S. Representative Mike Ezell (MS-04) proudly voted in favor of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping legislative package that delivers on President Donald Trump’s America First agenda by cutting taxes, securing the border, unleashing American energy, and protecting taxpayer dollars.
“This legislation is a major win for Mississippi families, workers, and businesses,” Ezell said. “It restores common sense to Washington by making the Trump tax cuts permanent, securing our borders, stopping taxpayer abuse, and ensuring American energy powers our economy, not foreign adversaries. This bill reflects the priorities of the people I represent—faith, freedom, and a fair shot at the American Dream. I’m proud to stand with President Trump and House Republicans in delivering real results for the American people.”
Key provisions included in the legislation:
Makes the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts Permanent – prevents a 22% tax hike on the average American by locking in tax relief for working families, small businesses, and job creators.
Delivers Pro-Growth, Pro-Worker Reforms – eliminates taxes on tips, overtime pay, and car loan interest, while providing new tax relief for seniors.
Includes $24.6 billion in investments to strengthen the U.S. Coast Guard’s mission.
Historic Border Security Investment – provides over $175 billion to complete the wall, build 900 miles of new river barriers, hire thousands of Border Patrol agents and customs officers, and expand detention and removal operations.
Protects Benefits for Those Who Need Them – restores work requirements for able-bodied adults on SNAP, prevents states from gaming the system, and ensures that Medicaid serves those truly in need, not non-citizens.
Ends Government Benefits for Non-Citizens – refocuses limited federal resources on vulnerable American families, not those here unlawfully.
Unleashes American Energy Dominance – Mandates regular lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, and on federal lands to ensure American energy independence and create thousands of good-paying jobs, including my legislation, the BRIDGE Act, which I championed this Congress.
Strengthens National Defense – invests nearly $150 billion to modernize our military, deter adversaries, and support service members at home and abroad.
Reformers Higher Education by streamlining student loan repayment options, supports student success, and cuts government waste.
