As the upcoming presidential election looms, Akin lobbying & public policy senior consultant and former House Ways and Means Committee Chair Kevin Brady provides insight into both former President Donald Trump’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposed tax plans.

Drawing on his key role in the passage of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Brady addresses the critical debate over provisions of the law that are set to expire in 2025, writing in an op-ed in  The Wall Street Journal that a “renewed focus on saving, investment, innovation and business creation” is crucial.

“The big question is: how do you treat the tax cuts and jobs act’s provisions and how do tariffs play in the economy?” asks Brady on Bloomberg’s ‘Balance of Power.’ “I think that is really going to drive how our economy performs in 2026 and beyond.”

Brady also speaks with Roll Call about the process the next administration will face, “The challenge will be for Congress to find a way to accommodate what are the most important priorities for the White House.”

“Whoever is in the White House is going to have to make some very tough decisions working with Congress,” Brady tells Bloomberg.
