TYLER – Our news partner KETK reports that East Texas Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-TX) attended a town hall in Tyler on Friday to discuss the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
The town hall event was hosted at Tyler Junior College by the Texas chapter of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a conservative political advocacy group backed by the billionaire Charles Koch.
In Jan. 2025, The Hill reported on AFP’s newly announced a $20 million nationwide campaign to push Congress to renew the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was passed under President Donald Trumps first term in office.
Moran supported renewing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on Friday by warning about how much taxes could go up next year.
“The average family would see about a 24% tax increase next year, and I don’t think anybody in this room wants to see that tax increase,” Moran said.
When asked about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or H.R. 1, an event attendee from Friday’s town hall was curious about what the bill actually contains.
“The main thing is just to kind of hear from him what all is in that big beautiful bill because you know we haven’t been shared a lot,” said attendee Sharron Fowler.
Moran said he hopes to take the input he received on Friday back to Washington D.C. where Republicans are waiting on HR 1 to pass through the Senate.
“I’m hoping to take back more information and more input that we can talk about while we get this thing through the Senate,” Moran said.
The AFP also ranks members of Congress according to how often their votes align with the group’s stance on given pieces of legislation. Moran has a 94 lifetime score with the group, a 100 score for the current 119th session of Congress and a 88 score for the 118th session.
