after meeting with farmers, ranchers, small businesses, teachers, students, and community leaders across Utah's Fourth District, I am here to report the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a win for Utahns. In Manti, I met with small business owners at a Sanpete County Chamber of Commerce to talk about what this bill means to Main Street. From making the small business tax deductions permanent to doubling expensing for equipment, this bill gives Utah entrepreneurs the freedom to grow, hire, and thrive. Over 70,000 small businesses stand to benefit. With our Rural Advisory Council, I heard directly from Utah farmers and ranchers, the backbone of our State. The bill raises the death tax exemption, protects family farms, and strengthens food security for generations to come. In Fairview, I heard from rural Utahns who rely on affordable energy to power their homes, farms, and businesses, and they are tired of red tape. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act streamlines permitting, unleashes Utah's energy potential, and helps providers deliver. From Payson to West Jordan to Murray, I visited Utah manufacturers to see firsthand how the One Big Beautiful Bill Act supports manufacturers by doubling expensing and boosting investment and made-in-America production. For working families, the results are just as clear. The typical Utah family with two kids will take home close to $12,000 more under this law. It is real tax relief for groceries, gas, savings, and peace of mind.
