Washington, D.C. , May 20, 2025

Washington, D.C. - 5/20/2025… Today, Reps. Mike Lawler (NY-17), Nick LaLota (NY-01), Andrew Garbarino (NY-02), Tom Kean Jr. (NJ-07), and Young Kim (CA-40) released the following joint statement: 

“We share President Trump's call for unity within the House Republican Conference. A fair SALT deduction is a matter of fundamental fairness for the hardworking families we represent, including the many who proudly support President Trump and voted for him, in part, because he promised to restore SALT. We hope his remarks today motivate the Speaker to advance a SALT proposal that delivers meaningful relief for our middle-class constituents, as we have worked in good faith with House Leadership for more than a year. Our states are donor states, consistently subsidizing so-called fiscally responsible red states,” stated the lawmakers.
