David Schweikert

David Schweikert is serving his eighth term in the United States Congress. He holds a seat on the Ways and Means Committee and is the current Chairman of the Oversight Subcommittee. He is the Chairman of the bicameral Joint Economic Committee, Chairman the Valley Fever Task force, is the Republican Co-Chair of the Blockchain Caucus, Co-Chair of the Tunisia Caucus, and Co-Chair of the Telehealth Caucus.

Among his legislative accomplishments, David was instrumental in authoring and passing H.R. 1. the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which reformed an outdated tax code resulting in incredible economic growth, millions of jobs being created, 50-year record low unemployment, and increased revenues. David also played a key role in advancing the United States, Mexico, Canada Agreement (USMCA) as a Member of the Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee and USMCA Whip Team, working across the aisle to garner support. This 21st Century trade deal supports over 228,000 jobs, improves Arizona’s cross-border trade relationships, and updates our intellectual property laws. David also played a crucial role in the formation of the most recent tax package, the Tax Relief for American Families & Workers Act , which secures pro-growth tax policies, including immediate research and development (R&D) expensing. Additionally, it incorporates interest deductibility, supporting small- and medium-sized businesses in meeting payroll and fostering growth. It further enables 100% expensing for business investments in U.S. facilities, equipment, and machines, while eliminating double taxation for businesses and workers operating in both the U.S. and Taiwan. Overall, this legislation solidifies over $600 billion in proven pro-growth tax policies, benefiting more than 21 million jobs. Essentially, according to staff on the Joint Committee on Taxation, the provisions nearly pay for themselves.
