Capitol Conversations: Rep. Kevin Kiley talks healthcare, redistricting
Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) has warned of an upcoming surge in costs for Americans in 2026. He stressed the need to extend key tax credits before the deadline arrives. His call comes as lawmakers debate how to prevent financial strain on households across the country.
Kiley highlighted the urgency of the situation during recent discussions. Without action, he argued, many families could face sharp increases in their expenses. His remarks focused on finding a solution before the 2026 threshold.
He pointed to multiple bipartisan proposals as possible answers. Among them were his own plan and others introduced by fellow House members. These included Republicans Kevin Brady (Texas) and Tom Reed (New York), alongside Democrats Richard Neal (Massachusetts) and Chris Van Hollen (Maryland). The congressman urged compromise to move forward. Extending the tax credits, he said, would require cooperation from both sides of the political divide.
The push to extend these credits aims to shield Americans from rising costs in two years. Kiley’s proposals, along with those from other lawmakers, now await further debate. The outcome will determine whether families receive continued financial relief beyond 2026.
