PA-08: Pa. GOP congressman cashes in on Trump's tax cuts

It appears that US Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-Luzerne) is set to take home an extra $20,000 in income thanks to the tax cuts he voted for in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

The Institute on Taxation of Economic Policy (ITEP), a progressive leaning think tank, estimates that Bresnahan is expected to save anywhere between $19,300 and $23,600 in taxes next year.

“Rob Bresnahan getting the biggest tax break of anyone in Congress due to the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is frankly obscene,” Michelle Rothenbecker, Action Together NEPA Chief of Staff and a Bresnahan constituent said in a statement.

“Bresnahan came into this seat as a multimillionaire. An extra $20,000 likely doesn’t mean much to him. But $20,000 is a life changing and often life saving amount for many constituents of his district.”
