WASHINGTON, D.C. – The RATE Coalition, whose members and affiliates employ more than 55 million American workers in all 50 states, released the following statement after the Senate’s approval of its budget resolution:

“We applaud the Senate for swiftly approving a budget resolution that lays the groundwork for preserving the pro-growth policies of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

“We urge the House and Senate to come together and move this reconciliation process forward with a sense of urgency. A competitive tax environment is essential for long-term economic growth, and we stand ready to work with lawmakers across both chambers to finalize reforms that keep America’s economy strong, competitive, and positioned for decades of future prosperity.”
