WASHINGTON, D.C.–The Hispanic Leadership Fund, issued the following statement from its President Mario H. Lopez, in response to today’s release of the tax reform bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act:
“We are highly encouraged that the low-overdue process of reforming out nation’s broken tax code is finally here. It is critically important to the American economy that the focus is rightly placed on creating jobs, increasing income for working families, and giving all Americans the opportunity to pursue the American dream.”
“The Hispanic Leadership Fund applauds Speaker Paul Ryan and members of the House of Representatives for their commitment to strengthening the economy. We stand ready to work with key Members of Congress to advance sound policy that lowers taxes and spurs job creation.”
