REP. ADRIANO ESPAILLAT STATEMENT ON SENATE PASSAGE OF THE REPUBLICAN TAX BILL


  Congressman Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) released the following statement regarding Senate passage of the devastating Republican tax scam:

“I am deeply disappointed that Republicans made their tax deal behind closed doors in what resulted in tax breaks for themselves, their millionaire friends and big corporations. Without virtually any debate or input from the American public, Republicans unilaterally took billions of dollars away from the middle class and handed it over to the wealthiest one percent and corporations. New Yorkers deserve better and deserve real tax reform that will put our families first.”

First elected to Congress in 2016, Rep. Adriano Espaillat is serving his first term in Congress where he serves as a member of the influential U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, and the House Select Committee on Small Business.  He is a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and serves in a leadership role as CHC Freshman Representative to the Democratic Caucus. He is also chairman of the CHC Task Force for Transportation, Infrastructure and Housing.  Rep. Espaillat’s Congressional District includes Harlem, East Harlem, northern Manhattan and the north-west Bronx. To find out more about Rep. Espaillat, visit online at https://espaillat.house.gov/.
