Senator Bill Nelson voted against providing historic tax relief for Florida families and businesses.
Nelson’s reckless vote comes despite this legislation delivering thousands of dollars in tax relief for middle-class families, creating an atmosphere that fosters new job growth and ensuring American businesses can grow and compete. Nelson’s decision is sure to be unpopular with Florida voters, who just last year voted for Republicans’ promise of smaller government and lower taxes.
“Senator Nelson revealed that his loyalty lies with Chuck Schumer and Washington Democrats, instead of hardworking Florida families and businesses,” said NRSC Communications Director Katie Martin. “Floridians won’t forget that when Bill Nelson had the opportunity to put more money in their pockets, he folded to the demands of his party bosses in Washington.”
