WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Pat Ryan, Congressman Andrew Garbarino and the bipartisan SALT Caucus reintroduced the SALT Deductibility Act to fully remove the SALT cap once and for all. Last November, Ryan wrote directly to President Trump, pledging to work across party lines to get the SALT Deductibility Act signed into law, and calling on President Trump to immediately begin bipartisan negotiations. Last week, Ryan urged President Trump to include Democrats in any SALT discussions at Mar-A-Lago, arguing that bipartisan action is the only path forward. While Trump’s 2017 tax bill put the SALT cap in place, the former and future President promised on the campaign trail to “get SALT back.”
“My number one goal is to lower costs for Hudson Valley families. Today, I’m proud to join my colleagues in putting partisanship aside and coming together to do just that,” said Congressman Pat Ryan. “Our constituents are feeling the pressure of making ends meet, and counting on us to deliver relief – we’re not letting double taxation go on any longer. I’ll go anywhere and work with anyone to fully remove the SALT cap.”
The legislation is co-sponsored by Reps. Sean Casten (IL-6), Holmes Norton (DC), Danny Davis (IL-7), Thomas Kean (NJ-7), Judy Chu (CA-28), Julia Brownley (CA-26), Jerrold Nadler (NY-12), Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11), Laura Gillen (NY-4), Jimmy Panetta (CA-19), and Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5).
President Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act limited the SALT deduction to $10,000 per household. Not a single Democrat in the House voted for the bill. On the campaign trail, President-elect Trump pledged to “get SALT back.”
Since his time serving as Ulster County Executive, Ryan has fought to eliminate the SALT cap and restore the SALT deduction. In February 2023, Congressman Ryan joined with colleagues to establish the bipartisan Congressional SALT Caucus for the 118th Congress. The Caucus is on the forefront of efforts to restore the SALT Tax deduction to provide significant relief for Hudson Valley families from unfair double taxation. Ryan cosponsors the SALT Deductibility Act and has repeatedly made it clear that he is a staunch champion for eliminating the SALT cap.
Congressman Ryan has fought to deliver tax relief for Hudson Valley families, including voting for the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act that included an Expanded Child Tax Credit that will uplift 40,000 kids in NY-18 alone and an Enhanced Low-Income Housing Tax Credit will develop more than 200,000 affordable housing units.
Ryan also introduced the Working Families Housing Tax Credit Act as part of his four-bill Housing Agenda to lower housing costs for Hudson Valley families.
