Trone Votes for Landmark Build Back Better Act to Provide Transformational Investments For Maryland's Future

Press Release

Today, Congressman David Trone voted to deliver a once-in-a-generation investment to working families with the Build Back Better Act. The bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives and now heads to the Senate for consideration.

The Build Back Better Act not only lowers health care and child care costs, but also marks the largest investment to combat climate change in our nation's history. Even further, this groundbreaking legislation establishes a universal family and medical leave program and lowers prescription drug costs for hardworking Americans.

The plan will ease inflation by cutting costs for working families, and it is paid for entirely by the wealthy and large corporations -- meaning that no one making under $400,000 will pay a penny more in taxes. You can read more about the plan here.

"Not only does the Build Back Better agenda help solve the problems Marylanders face today, but it also secures a brighter future for our children and grandchildren," said Congressman Trone. "We've underfunded critical innovation, vital programs, and our country's future for decades. We need to get back on track to compete in the 21st century. That's what we're fighting for. That's what Build Back Better is all about."

With the Build Back Better Act, Congress is delivering transformational investments for Marylanders. The $1.75 trillion bill lowers everyday costs for Marylanders by cutting taxes and making child care, home care, education, health care, and housing more affordable.
