Powering America’s Future with Affordable, Reliable Electricity
Affordable, reliable energy is the foundation of American prosperity. Families need electricity they can afford; businesses need dependable power to expand, hire, and compete; and communities need reliable energy infrastructure that supports investment and growth. Nationally, the United States needs abundant domestic energy to remain the world’s leading economy, military power, and technological innovator.
OHIO’S 1ST DISTRICT: THE COMEBACK AT A GLANCE
The district: the city of Cincinnati, dozens of other Hamilton County communities, and all of Warren County — on current boundaries; a new map adopted October 31, 2025 takes effect with the 2026 elections, so figures on today's boundaries will shift. Median household income was $82,099 in 2024, about 14% above Ohio's $72,212; the median owner-occupied home was worth $336,300, below the $360,600 national median.
Iowa: The Great American Comeback
On January 1, 2025, Iowa’s income tax became a single flat 3.8% rate—down from graduated rates topping out at 5.7% in 2024 (Iowa Capital Dispatch, 2025a), reform that lifted Iowa to #17 overall and #11 on the individual income tax component of the Tax Foundation’s 2026 State Tax Competitiveness Index (Tax Foundation, 2026a). Now the Working Families Tax Cuts (WFTC), enacted as the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) and signed July 4, 2025, stack federal relief on top of that state advantage—in a state where unemployment runs a full point below the Nation’s.
South Dakota: The Great American Comeback
South Dakota shows what pro-growth policy delivers: no state income tax, the Nation’s lowest unemployment rate, an economy that just topped $80 billion for the first time—and now the largest federal tax relief for working families in a generation under the Working Families Tax Cuts (WFTC), enacted as the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) and signed July 4, 2025.
Alaska: The Great American Comeback
The Working Families Tax Cuts (WFTC), enacted as the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) and signed July 4, 2025, deliver what supporters call the largest federal tax relief for working families in a generation, just as the state’s unemployment rate breaks out of a years-long rut.
