May 14, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-09) released the following statement after the Committee on Energy and Commerce passed President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. “After almost thirty hours of debate, I am proud to join my Republican colleagues in passing the Energy and Commerce Committee’s part of President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.” said Rep. Hudson. “This bill delivers on our promise of protecting the vulnerable, cutting wasteful spending, and renewing the middle-class tax cuts that effect every working family in America and fuel good jobs here at home. Our bill strengthens Medicaid by ending fraud and stopping handouts to illegal immigrants. We’re reining in Biden’s woke, reckless climate agenda, refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve depleted during the Biden Administration, and eliminating onerous regulations that threaten prosperity for you and your family. As Telecom Subcommittee Chair, I worked with my colleagues to raise $88 billion through spectrum auctions while protecting our defense and national security interests. This is about protecting hardworking families, restoring sanity to Washington, and putting America first.”  -###- Issues : Economy and Jobs Energy Environment Health Care National Debt
