July 3, 2025

Middletown, CT - Connecticut Republican Party Chairman Ben Proto today issued the following statement on the passage of President Donald J. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” marking a historic moment in restoring American greatness:

“Today is a great day for the American people. President Trump has delivered on his promise to put America First and keep us there. The passage of President Trump’s agenda is a testament to bold leadership, common-sense policy, and the unwavering commitment to protect our freedoms, secure our borders, and revive our economy, which President Trump not only promised during the campaign but has now delivered on. The increase in the SALT deduction from $10,000 to $40,000 will help millions of Connecticut citizens reduce both their federal and state income tax burdens.  Once again, Promises Made, Promises Kept. President Trump keeps America on a winning track” said Proto.

“This legislation stands as one of the most sweeping, impactful, meaningful, and historic bills of the modern era. It ensures stronger protections for working families, defends our constitutional values, and reasserts America’s role as the beacon of liberty across the globe,” continued Proto.

“Connecticut Republicans are proud to stand with President Trump as we continue the fight to restore prosperity, safety, and pride in our nation. While Democrats focused on obstruction and division, Republicans got to work - and Republicans got it done.”

“The American people spoke loudly last November when they demanded action, and under President Trump’s leadership, action was delivered. This is what governing with strength and purpose looks like. America once again is respected around the world. Thank you, President Trump.”

“Let this be a message to every American - when we stand united under conservative principles and strong leadership, there is nothing that America and Americans cannot achieve. The best is yet to come,” concluded Proto.
