WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today released the following statement after voting in favor of the motion to proceed on the Senate’s tax reform bill:

“Over the past few weeks, I have spoken with hundreds of Kansans at townhalls and meetings across the state regarding tax reform and ways to build a tax code that works for them. Today’s vote signals a significant step forward in achieving tax relief for families in Kansas and across America.

“I look forward to continuing the tax debate in an open and transparent fashion, and while I am still discussing ways to improve this bill before final passage with my colleagues, I expect to support a tax package that grows the economy, protects taxpayers, creates good paying jobs and helps Americans keep more of their hard-earned money.”
