WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-3rd, on Tuesday voted in favor of the House’s tax reform bill, saying it was a great day for America.

“I think I cast the most important vote I’ve ever cast while representing you, Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District,” Kelly said in a video posted to social media.

“I just voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs bill. It is an incredible piece of legislation that means more take-home pay for everyday working people. It also makes us competitive globally so jobs don’t leave the country — they come back home and they stay home.”

Despite the celebratory comments from President Donald Trump and House Republicans Tuesday, the bill will require a second vote in the House Wednesday before it can be sent to the Senate.

After it was passed by a 227-203 vote, Democrats noted that three provisions violated Senate rules and will need to be revised.

The $1.5 trillion package would lower the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The top tax rate for individuals would be lowered from 39.6 percent to 37 percent, though the individual tax cuts would expire in 2026.
