Here is how Missouri, Kansas members of Congress voted on Trump’s tax bill
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - House Republicans propelled President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill to final congressional passage Thursday, overcoming multiple setbacks to approve his signature second-term policy package before a Fourth of July deadline.
The tight roll call, 218-214, came at a potentially high political cost, with two Republicans joining all Democrats opposed.
Here is how the Missouri and Kansas members of the U.S. House of Representatives voted:
Rep. Sam Graves (R-Missouri): Yes
“The One Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers historic tax relief for families, seniors and American workers. It cuts wasteful spending, secures the border, and unleashes American energy, while ensuring we have a strong military. As Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I’m proud that we were able to include major investments in the U.S. Coast Guard to strengthen our border and national security. It will also jumpstart the process of modernizing our nation’s aging air traffic control system and hiring more air traffic controllers to keep the flying public safe. This bill makes good on President Trump’s America First agenda and I look forward to seeing it signed into law.”
Rep. Mark Alford (R-Missouri): Yes
“In a watershed moment for the American people, Republicans’ One Big, Beautiful Bill is headed to President Trump’s desk. This critical legislation delivers on our mandate from the by enacting the America First agenda. H.R. 1 includes the largest tax cut for middle- and working-class Americans in history, an historic investment in border security, and provisions to unleash domestic oil, natural gas, and nuclear energy production. In a strong step toward restoring fiscal sanity, we’re cutting almost $2 trillion in federal spending, rescinding billions in Green New Scam funding, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse from numerous federal programs. I was proud to support this legislation on the House floor.”
Rep. Wesley Bell (D-Missouri): No
“What happened on the House floor today will go down as one of the darkest votes in modern American history. This bill wasn’t about cutting waste, balancing budgets, or fiscal responsibility. It was about taking from the poor to give even more to the rich.I didn’t run for Congress to help the powerful get more power. I came here to fight for the people I grew up with. For working folks. For St. Louis families who are always asked to sacrifice while the rich keep taking. I will keep fighting, because they matter. And this country ought to act like it.”
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Missouri): No
“Despite Democratic warnings about electing a billionaire with a long history of failed businesses and a reputation for stiffing workers, the American people re-elected Donald Trump under the guise that he would protect programs like Medicaid and fight for hardworking families and forgotten communities. With the passage of President Trump and Congressional Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, those lofty promises will go unfulfilled and American families will experience the largest transfer of wealth from the working-class to the exorbitantly wealthy in American history—a travesty that could take decades to undo."
Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Missouri): Yes
“Today’s vote is a win for hardworking Missourians that prevents the largest tax increase in American history, ensuring every American keeps more of their hard-earned dollars. The One Big Beautiful Bill keeps our promise to the American people, enacting no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, enhanced tax relief for seniors on Social Security, increased Child Tax Credits for families, and tax certainty for our local small businesses. It is sad but expected that every House Democrat just voted to raise taxes on all Americans and block a $10,000 pay raise for the typical American family.”
Rep. Bob Onder (R-Missouri): Yes
“I applaud the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” It is a major win for the American people and President Trump’s agenda.”
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Missouri): Yes
“It has been an honor to work alongside President Trump and his administration to help deliver the One Big Beautiful Bill. This historic piece of legislation will bring the largest tax cut, the most sweeping welfare reform, and the strongest border security package in our nation’s history.”
Rep. Jason Smith (R-Missouri): Yes
"For two years, the Ways and Means Committee has been preparing for this moment, and thanks to President Trump’s overwhelming victory in November, a historic, pro-growth, pro-America tax bill that delivers on the president’s promises to American workers and families will soon become law. Permanency for the successful provisions of the 2017 Trump tax cuts, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime pay, no tax on car loan interest, and tax relief for seniors, along with tax incentives that reward businesses who manufacture more in the U.S. and hire more American workers will soon usher in the Golden Age of America."
Rep. Sharice Davids (D-Kansas): No
“Simply put, President Trump’s extreme budget hurts everyone who isn’t already a billionaire. It hands out tax giveaways to the ultra-wealthy while gutting Medicaid, raising grocery prices, and putting rural hospitals and reproductive health care at risk — all while adding trillions to the national debt. I was raised by a single mom in the Army, so I know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck. This proposal would only make it harder for families like the one I grew up in. Kansans deserve responsible leadership, not reckless cuts and partisan gimmicks — that’s why I’m focused on a commonsense, bipartisan path forward that actually lowers costs, supports small businesses, and grows our economy responsibly.”
Rep. Tracey Mann (R-Kansas): Yes
“Over the past four years, Kansans expressed grave concerns to me about our nation’s border security, skyrocketing prices, and a federal government that continually burdened their way of life in rural America through excessive regulations. On November 5, 2024, the country overwhelmingly agreed with Kansans in the Big First and rejected even more taxes, Green New Deal regulations, and open border policies. Today, our Republican majorities succeeded in our campaign promises to uproot wasteful spending, prevent the average family from seeing a tax increase of $2,200, and deliver the largest tax cut for middle- and working-class families in American history. I am extremely proud of the work we did to give Kansas families, small businesses, and agriculture some much-needed relief and to continue getting our country back on track. When President Trump signs the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, American families will have with more money in their pockets, secure borders, and accountability for the taxpayer dollar in honor of our 249th birthday.”
Rep. Derek Schmidt (R-Kansas): Yes
“Last November, Americans voted for change in Washington, D.C. Today, Congress is delivering much of the change promised by President Trump’s America First agenda that voters in our Second Congressional District chose by a large margin. We make America safer by funding permanent border security and the removal of illegal aliens from our country. We also strengthen and modernize our national defense.”
Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas): Yes
The most pro-worker piece of legislation now heads to the White House for President Donald Trump’s signature. The tax cuts in the One Big, Beautiful Bill will raise the wages for Kansas workers by $3,300. When Republicans decisively won the House, the Senate, and the White House last November, we promised the American people to extend the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts, secure the border, and restore prosperity.With this bill’s passage, President Trump and my colleagues are ensuring Americans will see tax cuts and wage increases for years to come, improving the quality of life for the Kansans I represent.
