GOP Paves Way to Raise Taxes on Hard-Working California Families
The Ryan-McConnell tax agenda would eliminate the key deduction for state and local taxes, claimed by more than 6.1 million hard-working households in California, worth an average of more than $18,000.
Here's a look at what's at stake for constituents of GOP Members from California under the Ryan-McConnell framework's plan to destroy the state and local tax deduction:
| Member | District | # of Households Claiming SALT Deductions | % of Households Claiming SALT | Average SALT Deduction |
| Doug LaMalfa | 1 | 113,355 | 32.55% | $ 10,546 |
| Tom McClintock | 4 | 139,900 | 36.01% | $ 11,802 |
| Paul Cook | 8 | 57,310 | 30.48% | $ 8,845 |
| Jeff Denham | 10 | 101,995 | 28.07% | $ 9,792 |
| David Valadao | 21 | 95,418 | 25.49% | $ 9,932 |
| Devin Nunes | 22 | 36,733 | 23.86% | $ 9,844 |

| Mimi Walters | 45 | 78,074 | 37.10% | $ 18,200 |
| Dana Rohrbacher | 48 | 78,074 | 37.10% | $ 18,200 |
| Darrell Issa | 49 | 180,616 | 34.96% | $ 16,524 |
| Duncan Hunter | 50 | 183,072 | 33.76% | $ 12,808 |
As House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and his Republicans colleagues head home for the weekend, they must face the facts: the dangerous GOP budget they voted for paves the way for a tax and budget agenda that –
- Raises taxes on the middle class
- Borrows trillions from the future to give tax cuts to the wealthiest
- Ransacks Medicare & Medicaid
The Ryan-McConnell tax plan is a bad deal for the American people. Americans deserve tax reform that puts the middle class first, not more deficit-exploding tax cuts for billionaires. Democrats will continue to fight for real tax reform with not one penny in tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent.
