What They Are Saying: Praise Pours In For The One Big Beautiful Bill Act

WASHINGTON- Today, Congressman Michael Baumgartner (WA-05) touts key stakeholder support for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law on July 4, 2025. 

“The signing of the One Big Beautiful Bill isn’t just a win for Congress or President Trump, it’s a victory for every American. It’s more than legislation; it’s a bold step forward for the country,” said Congressman Baumgartner. “This bill delivers for the people who keep America running –farmers, small business owners, seniors, manufacturers, and working families. I’m proud to have helped pass these historic, common-sense reforms that will make our nation stronger, safer, and more prosperous for generations to come.”

Here is what stakeholders are saying about the One Big Beautiful Bill:  

American Farm Bureau President, Zippy Duvall - “Lawmakers took a big step toward ensuring America’s farmers and ranchers can continue to keep pantries filled for America’s families.”

U.S. Chamber of Commerce - “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act represents the kind of forward-looking, pro-growth policy that is vital to maintaining America's prosperity and competitive edge. We thank every lawmaker who cast a vote for America’s future, and we applaud President Trump's leadership in ensuring this historic legislation became law.”

American Forest and Paper Association President, Heidi Brock - “We are so appreciative of the work on the one big, beautiful tax bill because our industry is enormously capital-intensive. When you, for instance, want to invest in a new paper mill in our country, that can cost more than $800 million. Provisions in this bill help allow for expensing to be deductible, and that is critical. We need long-term certainty for our manufacturers to successfully invest in the United States.”  

NFIB Small Business President, Brad Close - “By making the Small Business Tax Deduction permanent, Congress has delivered the certainty that Main Street needs, freeing small business owners to continue to create jobs, grow their business and invest in their communities. Passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a clear message that lawmakers understand the vital role small businesses play in our economy and our communities.”

AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer, Nancy LeaMond  - “This increase delivers tax relief at a time when many older Americans are living on fixed incomes while facing rising costs.” 

National Association of Manufacturers - “While this bill passed on a party-line vote, manufacturers all across America, in red states and blue states, swing districts and safe districts, look forward to putting people to work, more factories into motion, more innovation into the market, more products onto our shelves and more prosperity into our communities. Taken together, this strengthens the hand of the United States on the world stage. That’s exactly what this bill helps to deliver.”

Association of Mature American Citizens - “The Beautiful Bill enacts a $4,000 tax deduction for Americans over age 65 and raises the child tax deduction to $2,200, offering much needed relief to parents struggling with the cost of living.”

Family Business Estate Tax Coalition (FBETC) - “The estate tax is overly burdensome on families trying to pass their business to the next generation. Historically, the FBETC has supported the full and permanent repeal of the estate tax.”

National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) - “The men and women of the National Border Patrol Council are proud to announce our support for the House One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This legislation provides a once in a generation investment in the border security of our great country and will make America safer.”

National Fraternal Order of Police - “We thank Republicans for removing taxes on overtime and strengthening our border security.”

National Rifle Association (NRA) Executive Vice President & CEO, Doug Hamlin - “Congress has delivered a game-changing victory for gun owners - reducing the cost of a tax stamp for suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and ‘any other weapons’ to $0.” 

Aerospace Industries Association - “The final reconciliation package is a powerful boost to America’s defense, aviation, and manufacturing strength. With $100 billion in investment for the defense industrial base, additional funding to modernize America’s air traffic control system, and a return to pro-America tax policies like immediate R&D expensing, it ensures our warfighters stay equipped with cutting-edge technology while supporting safety, innovation, and job creation across the aerospace sector.”

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America - “Defunding the abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, marks the greatest pro-life victory since the Dobbs decision. For the first time in history, Congress is halting forced taxpayer funding of Big Abortion in the Medicaid program for one year. This will save lives and strip over $500 million from Big Abortion’s coffers.” 

Independent Women’s Voice - “Passing the Big, Beautiful Bill is an imperative. The stakes are high. If Congress fails to pass this bill, average Americans face a massive 22% tax increase [and] 40 million families will see their Child Tax Credit slashed in half…”
