Congresswoman Escobar believes tax policies should prioritize working families and small businesses, not billionaires and corporations. Congresswoman Escobar has continued to fight against tax cuts that benefit the ultra-wealthy at the expense of essential programs like healthcare, education, and infrastructure. Affirmed by her support of the Inflation Reduction Act, which reduces healthcare costs and holds corporations accountable to pay their fair share of taxes.
Co-Sponsored Legislation
