Blackburn Statement on Priorities for Budget Reconciliation Package

January 29, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) released the following statement on her legislative priorities for the budget reconciliation package: 

“With President Trump back in office and a GOP majority in both the House and Senate, Republicans have the opportunity of a lifetime to achieve real results for the American people through the budget reconciliation process. We need to make President Trump’s tax cuts permanent, reduce the tax burden on seniors, and increase access to health care for families who live in rural America. We also need to build on President Trump’s efforts to restore a strong and secure southern border by empowering local law enforcement to assist the federal government and curbing human trafficking. I support President Trump’s efforts to limit the power of unelected bureaucrats in Washington and to hold federal agencies more accountable for how they spend Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars, and I’m fighting to secure big wins for Tennesseans in the upcoming reconciliation package.” – Senator Blackburn
