U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has released a statement following his vote in favor of the motion to proceed to Cal. #107, H.R.1, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

“Biden and the Democrats left behind enormous messes that we are trying to clean up – an open border, wars, and massive deficits. After working for weeks with President Trump and his highly capable economic team, I am convinced that he views this as a necessary first step and will support my efforts to help put America on a path to fiscal sustainability,” Johnson said.

Senator Johnson has held his seat since 2010 after defeating Russ Feingold in the general election with 51.9% of the vote compared to Feingold's 47%. He secured re-election in 2016 against Feingold again, winning with 50.2% of the vote versus Feingold’s 46.8%. In 2022, Johnson defeated Mandela Barnes in another close race, receiving 50.4% of the vote while Barnes garnered 49.4%.
