Hageman Votes for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act

Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Hageman voted for, and the House passed, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. This bill fulfills the mandate issued by the American people in November and delivers on President Trump’s agenda by cutting taxes, securing the border, and unleashing American energy. 

“In November, commonsense was restored and the American people spoke with a clear voice – unleash American energy, secure the southern border, and restore the economy. Today, the House passed legislation to deliver on President Trump’s promise. I worked diligently to ensure Wyoming’s voice was reflected in this historic legislation, including: unleashing our coal industry, accessing more of our oil and gas, increasing timber production, repealing IRA green spending, eliminating costly Biden regulations, rescinding the taxation, regulation and registration of suppressors, and more,” stated Rep. Hageman. “We also voted to prevent tax hikes on Wyomingites and our businesses, provided the resources needed to secure our border and stop the flow of illegal immigrants and deadly drugs into our country, and enacted critical spending reforms.”
