Tax Day Reality Check: Virginia Republicans Prioritized Tax Cuts For Billionaires as Families Are Left Paying The Price

On Tax Day, Virginia families are reeling from the consequences of the unpopular so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that prioritized permanent tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy over lowering costs for hardworking families.

Vulnerable congressmembers Rob Wittman, Jen Kiggans, and John McGuire all voted for the cost-spiking, health care-slashing legislation.

REMINDERMost Americans say the taxes they paid this year are “too high.” The reality is that Wittman, Kiggans, McGuire, and their D.C. party bosses gave more tax breaks to the top 1% than to the bottom 80% COMBINED, and their law is expected to raise taxes on the poorest 40% of Americans.

Meanwhile, their constituents are stuck dealing with rising gas pricesout-of-control utility costs, and massive cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs.

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin
Tax day is a reminder that Rob Wittman, Jen Kiggans, and John McGuire all chose to prioritize tax breaks for billionaires over lowering costs for Virginia families. Their support for this absolutely awful legislation will be a major reason why they lose their seats in November.”
