Where they stand
Affordable housing
We were able to expand and make permanent the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit through the Working Families Tax Cuts, and this legislation builds on that success by preserving more affordable housing for the families who need it most
Source: carey.house.gov
Energy prices
Cheaper energy translates into cheaper goods for Americans at every level of the supply chain, allowing families to keep more of their hard-earned cash
Source: carey.house.gov
Health coverage
I voted today to extend the enhanced tax credits for ACA plans. The cost of health care is still too high because of the failed Obamacare policies that removed choice and raised premiums with punishing government mandates on our working families.
Source: carey.house.gov
Taxes and the cost of living
In just over a year, Republicans are delivering a more affordable future with a stronger low-income housing tax credit, a record high Child Tax Credit, and more money in the pockets of Ohio families.
