U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) issued a statement after voting against the motion to proceed with the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act. The broad tax measure passed the House of Representatives earlier this year.

"The House passed this tax package in January, and the Senate has not held a single hearing on the legislation in the last six months," Cramer said. "This is an unserious political ploy by Chuck Schumer, Chairman Wyden, and Senate Democrats to ram the bill through and once again circumvent regular order. All 100 Senators should have an opportunity to provide our input, not just the Chairmen of two committees."

The act has been a subject of contention since its introduction, reflecting ongoing partisan divides over fiscal policy.
