Baumgartner Issues Statement Upon the Final Passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

WASHINGTON- Today, Congressman Michael Baumgartner (WA-05) voted to advance the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to President Trump’s desk and released the following statement upon its passage.

“Hardworking Americans deserve a government that rewards work, drives growth, and knows when to get out of the way. The One Big Beautiful Bill does just that—keeping more money where it belongs: in the pockets of working families.

It locks in the Trump Tax Cuts, supports small businesses, secures our southern border, and invests in rural health care and energy independence. I’m especially proud it includes $50 billion for rural health care—a longtime priority of mine since sponsoring the legislation to establish the WSU Medical School during my time in the State Senate. Strengthening care in our communities has always been personal to me. And by finally reining in the wasteful spending Washington has ignored for too long, the bill reflects a serious commitment to responsible, results-driven government.

I’ve said it before: this bill isn’t a silver bullet. But it’s a bold, serious step toward getting our economy back on track and restoring real accountability in Washington, D.C. It’s a win for every American who wants safer streets, stronger communities, and a government that finally puts them first.”- Congressman Michael Baumgartner (WA-05)
