WASHINGTON, D.C. - Representative John James (MI-10) has shown his support for the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act by voting in favor of it. This tax package includes measures to enhance the child tax credit, an issue that Rep. James has been advocating for since he took office to represent Michigan's 10th Congressional District. Additionally, the bill also restores research and development expensing, which will have a positive impact on the job market in Michigan.

In a statement following the vote, Rep. James expressed his satisfaction with the passage of the legislation. He said, "I am proud to support a commonsense bill like the tax package to help working parents get a little support for the heroic work they do to raise the next generation of Americans. Not only does this legislation support bringing back the child tax credit, an initiative I have championed through the introduction of my Reignite Hope Act, but it also supports thousands of Michigan workers by strengthening research and development across multiple sectors. This legislation is a big step forward for Michigan and America, and I am proud to have voted in support."

Rep. James has been a prominent advocate for the child tax credit on Capitol Hill. His Reignite Hope Act was one of the first bills introduced in this Congress to support the child tax credit. Throughout the legislative process, Rep. James has been vocal about the importance of including this program in the tax package. His efforts have paid off, as the child tax credit will now be enhanced, providing much-needed support for families across the country.

The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act is not only beneficial for families but also for the economy of Michigan. By restoring research and development expensing, the bill will create 9,475 jobs and generate $808 million in wages within the state. This investment in research and development will contribute to the growth and innovation of various sectors in Michigan, leading to long-term economic benefits.

The passage of this tax relief package marks a significant achievement for both Rep. James and the American people. It demonstrates the commitment of lawmakers to prioritize the needs of families and workers, providing them with much-needed financial support. The enhanced child tax credit will alleviate the financial burden on families, allowing them to invest in the well-being and future of their children.

As Rep. James continues to advocate for the interests of Michigan's 10th Congressional District, his support for the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act showcases his dedication to improving the lives of his constituents. By voting in favor of this legislation, Rep. James has taken a vital step towards ensuring that American families receive the assistance they need during these challenging times.
