The National Republican Congressional Committee is going on offense, and it is aiming straight at House Democrats over their unanimous vote against the Working Families Tax Cuts.
One year after President Trump signed the tax cut package into law on July 4, 2025, the NRCC is launching a new ad campaign designed to make sure voters remember exactly who voted against it.
The timing is deliberate. This past April, millions of Americans filed their taxes and found bigger refunds waiting for them. Average refunds exceeded $3,400, up 11 percent. Twenty-five million taxpayers benefited from the No Tax on Overtime provision. Six million took advantage of No Tax on Tips. Another 27 million claimed No Tax on Social Security. And 12 million small business owners saw an average tax reduction of $7,000.
As originally reported, the NRCC called those numbers proof that Republicans’ “pro-growth, pro-worker policies deliver.” Now they want to make sure the contrast sticks heading into the next election cycle.
The new ad is direct. “One year ago today, President Trump and Republicans passed big tax cuts for working families,” it says. “Republicans lowered taxes on the working class, stopped welfare for illegals, more jobs for Americans. But Democrats want to take it all away. Their plan? You pay thousands more.”
Not subtle. But the NRCC is betting it does not need to be.
The opposition research writes itself. Arizona congressional candidate Amish Shah has publicly called the Working Families Tax Cuts “abominable” and demanded their “wholesale repeal.” That kind of language, used against cuts that put real money back in workers’ pockets, is exactly what Republican strategists want playing in swing districts.
NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella put the contrast plainly. “One year later, the contrast for America couldn’t be clearer. Republicans put more money back in Americans’ pockets with bigger refunds, lower costs, and historic tax relief. Democrats voted to raise taxes on working families after fueling historic inflation, and they’d do it again if they get the chance.”
There is also a forward-looking element tucked inside the legislation. Families with children born between 2025 and 2028 are eligible for $1,000 government contributions to Trump Accounts, designed to give those children a financial head start.
Every House Democrat voted no on all of it.
Republicans plan to keep reminding voters of that fact, loudly and often, between now and Election Day.
