Congressman Rob Bresnahan (R, PA-08) addressed the Republican Party’s first-ever midterm convention in Dallas last week, highlighting his record of delivering tax relief for northeastern Pennsylvania’s workers and manufacturers ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Bresnahan, who ran and grew his family’s electrical contracting business before coming to Congress, spoke about the overtime tax relief delivered through the Working Families Tax Cut Act and the need to rebuild America’s manufacturing workforce through technical schools, apprenticeships and union training programs.

“Before I ever ran for Congress, I ran a family business. I made decisions that affected our workers, their families and the future of our company. I know what communities like ours can do when they’re given a fair shot,” Bresnahan said.

“In northeastern Pennsylvania, we work until the job is done and those extra hours should mean more money in your pocket,” he continued. “That’s why we delivered tax relief on overtime through the Working Families Tax Cut Act. That extra money reaches the diner down the street, the local grocery store and the family buying their first home. That’s how you build communities where people can stay, raise a family, and build a life.”

Bresnahan closed his remarks by introducing Nora Pruitt, a mother of seven from Maryland who he said works at a welding factory that is thriving because of the tax cuts.

“I am proud to be standing here tonight with one of those workers, a mother from just across the border in Maryland,” Bresnahan said. “Nora Pruitt and her husband Jason have seven beautiful children. And she works at a welding factory in Baltimore that is thriving because of the Working Families Tax Cuts that Republicans passed and President Trump signed into law.”
