LIBRE Applauds Senate’s Advancement of the Trump Tax Cuts

Immediately following the Senate’s passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” to lock in and expand the pro-growth provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Daniel Garza, President of The LIBRE Initiative issued the following statement in support of this effort:

“We commend the Senate for passing H.R. 1 to make the Trump tax cuts permanent—measures that have proven to deliver real benefits to hardworking families, job creators, and entrepreneurs across the country. For Latinos—who are starting businesses at a notable rate and powering local economies—this bill is not just good policy, it’s essential. 

By making the low tax rates and small business provisions permanent, this legislation helps ensure that Latino workers, small business owners, and families can thrive with greater certainty, flexibility, and opportunity. Tax relief allows families to keep more of what they earn, invest in their future, and weather economic uncertainty with confidence. 

We applaud the Senate send  for sending a clear message that the American Dream remains alive and within reach for all—especially those working hard to build a better life.” 

The LIBRE Initiative has long advocated for economic policies that promote opportunity and upward mobility within the Latino community. The reforms under consideration represent a critical step toward expanding those opportunities for generations to come.

Recent Hispanic Polling on Taxes:

• 65% said they would be very concerned.
• 74% of Hispanic seniors said they would be very concerned about their taxes going up.
• 73% of Hispanic voters say the amount of taxes they pay is too high,

Background: 

• Earlier this year, LIBRE  announced a seven-figure campaign titled: Protecting Prosperity urging lawmakers to extend tax relief for middle-class families. The campaign also includes the launch of www.protectingprosperity.com where activists and volunteers can take action in favor of extending TCJA. This campaign, released in advance of the looming expiration, shows overwhelming consensus among Latino voters that now is not the time to raise taxes.
• Polling shows that Latinos across party lines view the expiration of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as a tax hike that would hurt middle-class families, consumers, small businesses, and the economy.
• The campaign includes digital ads, grassroots events, and congressional accountability efforts to ensure that the new Congress will extend tax relief for middle-class families – including millions of Latino families who have expressed opposition to tax hikes.
