PROTECT COALITION | 01/27/2025 09:00 AM
WASHINGTON, DC — Last month, the PROTECT Coalition launched a digital campaign asking Texans to sign a petition in support of President Trump’s tax cuts. After targeting two key congressional districts, Rep. Jodey Arrington (TX-19) and Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21), nearly 2,000 signatures were gathered, signaling strong grassroots support.
The issue is looming over lawmakers in Congress—and it won’t be possible without bipartisan support. But PROTECT’s latest digital ad blitz confirms what Texans already understand: extending the 199A provision in Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) is vital for financial stability and economic growth.
During the first policy hearing of the 199th Congress, lawmakers heard testimonies from everyday Americans whose lives and businesses have been changed by 199A. This provision has been a lifeline, helping a diverse range of businesses grow and create jobs.
If we don’t protect 199A, the financial consequences are dire: 26 million businesses will be forced to endure a 43.4 percent top tax rate.
The nearly 2,000 signers in TX-19 and TX-21 are representative of a growing movement to keep American businesses competitive. They want leaders who will fight for their financial well-being and honor the promises made by President Trump, and preserving 199A is an essential component.
