Fedorchak highlights North Dakota farmers who will benefit from One Big Beautiful Bill

May 22, 2025 Press Release Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) spoke on the House Floor in support of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill , which passed the House of Representatives this morning. She highlighted how the bill’s tax provisions will deliver historic tax relief for working class North Dakotans, including the Baldwin family from St. Thomas, ND. Image Below are her remarks as prepared for delivery: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today in strong support of the One Big Beautiful Bill on behalf of these people and thousands of others like them. They are not millionaires or billionaires. They’re family farmers. Brent and Stephanie Baldwin farm wheat, sugarbeets, edible beans, and soybeans in St. Thomas, ND. They have three kids. They are fourth generation farmers. And unless Congress acts, the tax relief they depend on—the 199A deduction—will expire at the end of this year. Our bill will permanently expand and increase this deduction for pass-through businesses like the Baldwins. In 2020 alone, 67,000 taxpayers in my state, including many farmers, claimed the 199A deduction—putting $682 million in their pockets. That’s real money for working class Americans. Our bill also eliminates the death tax for family-owned businesses. We can’t have the big, bloated federal government stealing their hard work and wasting it on fraud and abuse. For our family farmers and producers—the backbone of rural America—this is urgent. Let’s make these tax cuts permanent and pass this bill. Thank you, and I yield back.
