PA-08: Bresnahan pockets millions after voting to cut his own taxes [View all]

A report issued by Americans for Tax Fairness found that US House Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-Luzene) is set to save $6 million in taxes after voting for President Donald Trump’s tax cuts last year.

“Congressman Rob Bresnahan voted for a tax law that puts money in his own pocket at a time when northeastern Pennsylvanians are being stretched thin by the rising costs of gas, food, and everyday purchases,” Unrig Our Economy Campaign Director Leor Tal said in a statement.

She added, “instead of looking for ways to bring down costs for his constituents, Bresnahan will be spending the day doubling down on his decision to put tax breaks for himself and his billionaire buddies over working families.”

Since taking office, Bresnahan has earned a reputation for being one of Congress’ most prolific stock traders despite campaigning on ending congressional stock trading.
