U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (R-PA) has announced his appointment as Chairman of the Ways & Means Subcommittee on Tax for the 119th Congress. Kelly previously held this position during the 118th Congress. This announcement followed the official Organization Meeting of the Ways & Means Committee.
"As we begin the 119th Congress, I’m honored to once again chair the Ways & Means Tax Subcommittee," stated Chairman Kelly. "2025 will be the Super Bowl of Tax as we work to extend the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, which spurred the greatest economy the United States has seen in generations. There is a lot of work ahead, and I’m ready to work with President Trump, Speaker Johnson, and Chairman Smith to fulfill the mandate set forth by the American people."
Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) praised Kelly's leadership: "The Ways and Means Committee is blessed with leaders that bring an unparalleled expertise and knowledge to the committee’s work," he said. "Chairman Kelly’s leadership – including his integral role in developing and facilitating the work of our 10 Tax Teams over the past year – has put our Committee in a position to deliver on President Trump’s economic agenda and to extend and build upon the 2017 Trump tax cuts as swiftly as possible."
In 2024, both Rep. Kelly and Chairman Smith spearheaded initiatives through ten Tax Teams within their committee. These groups focused on key tax provisions from Trump's 2017 tax cuts set to expire in 2025, aiming at legislative solutions benefiting families, workers, and small businesses.
