Tax Reform update - get involved to protect your families.

Thanks to the American Federation of Teachers I've had the opportunity to lobby republican lawmakers who are instrumental in the current tax bill being developed y the House of Representatives in Washington D.C.  On behalf of educators I'm discussing SALT deductions that will have Californian's paying double taxes on their State Taxes for the first time. Furthermore, teachers won't be able to write off any expenses that they incur for their classrooms. Show me one educator that doesn't spend their own money on their students, it's unheard of and elementary classroom teachers spent the most on their students. Also student loan interest deductions are also being eliminated. It is very disappointing to see congress be so uncaring for hard working Americans as the tax rate for corporations will decrease to 25% and businesses will be able to deduct state and local taxes.
Here's my scheduled appointments... Rep Devin Nunez from the Fresno/Tulare Counties, Rep. Ed Royce from Northern Orange County, and Rep Duncan Hunter from San Diego.
