Fedorchak celebrates final passage of One Big Beautiful Bill
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) today voted to send the One Big Beautiful Bill to President Trump’s desk, delivering a major win for North Dakotans. This historic package fulfills President Trump’s America First agenda—cutting taxes for working families, unleashing American energy, securing the border, investing in peace through strength, and supporting U.S. farmers and producers.
“The One Big Beautiful Bill turns the page on four years of weakness, disorder, and runaway federal spending—and begins a new chapter for America. At the heart of this bill is a simple principle: Americans should be able to keep more of what they earn. It will help jumpstart our economy, encourage investment, and help people who work hard get ahead again,” Fedorchak said. “I was proud to help move it forward, because North Dakotans—and Americans everywhere—are tired of waste, tired of overreach, and ready for the pro-America policies included in this bill to enact President Trump’s agenda.”
According to the White House Council of Economic Advisors forecast, this bill will drive annual GDP growth to 3 percent and could generate up to $4 trillion in additional revenue.
“The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers meaningful spending cuts while taking major steps to create a pro-business environment. It’s a pro-growth package that will stimulate investment, increase revenues, and help bring down our national deficit. Addressing our nation’s out-of-control spending is a top priority and we must do more. This bill puts us on stronger financial footing by pairing significant spending reforms with policies that help the American economy thrive,” Fedorchak added.
