2025: Garrity Supported Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, Claiming It Was A “Historic Plan” That Reduced “Wasteful Spending,” Extended “Middle-Class Tax Funds,” Achieved “The Biggest Deficit Reduction In Decades,” And Secured The Border. According to Garrity’s Twitter, “As PA’s Treasurer, I know firsthand how important President Trump’s One, Big Beautiful Bill is for families across our Commonwealth. It’s about securing our border, reducing wasteful spending, and putting money back into YOUR pockets. This historic plan permanently locks in Trump’s successful middle-class tax cuts, funds the largest border-security effort in American history, and achieves the biggest deficit reduction in decades. It’s real relief and real results for everyday Pennsylvanians. Members of Congress who oppose President Trump’s One, Big Beautiful Bill are risking higher taxes, weaker borders, and billions wasted on woke policies. It’s time to come together, put America First, and to do the job the American people elected Republicans to do.”

¶ The “One Big Beautiful Bill” Cut Certain Clean Energy Tax Credits While Providing Tax Breaks To The Wealthy And Large Corporations
The Republican Reconciliation Bill Restricted The Ability Of Projects To Qualify For Certain Clean Energy Tax Credits. According to Utility Dive, "The bill restricts the ability of projects to qualify for the tech-neutral clean electricity 45Y production tax credit and 48E investment tax credit, shortens the timeline for those credits, and ends the 25D residential solar credit after this year. The 25E, 30D, 30C and 45W electric vehicle credits will terminate after Sept. 30. While clean energy advocates and congressional Democrats maintain that the final version of the bill goes too far in slashing IRA credits, some Republicans wanted to see more significant cuts."
