Ohio Leaders Disagree on Big Beautiful Bill Ahead of July 4 Vote
Columbus Ohio – As Congress prepares for a major vote, Ohio leaders disagree on Big Beautiful Bill, a sweeping economic package that would permanently extend 2017 tax cuts, reduce Medicaid spending, and add over $3 trillion to the national debt in the next decade.
The bill narrowly passed the Senate on July 1.
Republicans Push for Passage
Several Ohio Republican representatives are backing the bill, highlighting benefits like continued tax relief, protection for family-owned farms, and support for border security and national defense.
Rep. Mike Carey (Columbus) wrote that the bill is key to stopping “the largest tax increase in American history.” Rep. Jim Jordan (Urbana) called it “the largest tax cut for working Americans in U.S. history.” Rep. Dave Joyce emphasized the bill’s role in expanding energy production and safeguarding key programs.
However, not all Republicans are on board. Rep. Warren Davidson (Troy) remains undecided, citing concerns about the bill’s long-term impact on the national debt.
Democrats Strongly Oppose the Bill
Ohio’s Democratic representatives are united in their opposition. Rep. Joyce Beatty (Columbus) warned that the bill would take healthcare away from millions and increase food insecurity. Rep. Shontel Brown called it “one big ugly bill,” while Rep. Greg Landsman argued it would force hospitals to close and hurt vulnerable families.
Rep. Emilia Sykes (Akron) stated the bill prioritizes the wealthiest Americans and puts working families at risk.
Deadline Approaching
Supporters hope to pass the bill before July 4, branding it a patriotic win for American families. With Ohio leaders disagreeing on key provisions, all eyes are on the final House vote.
