WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement regarding the Senate tax reform proposal released today:
“Today, Senate Republicans took an important and bold step forward in delivering the pro-growth tax reform our country needs. For West Virginians and so many Americans across the country, the status quo just isn’t working, and this is our opportunity to change it. That’s why we are working to provide relief for working families, help small businesses expand and succeed, and spark the kind of growth that can truly transform our economy.
“As the proposal continues to move forward through an open and transparent process and comes to the Senate floor, I encourage my Democrat colleagues to put aside their misguided rhetoric; stop the political theatrics; and join President Trump, Republicans in Congress, and the majority of Americans who want a better tax system. The train is leaving the station. It’s time to get on board.”
