Published

on

In the first days of the 118th Congress, Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) voted to rescind funding for the 87,000 new IRS agents and staff passed by the previous Congress. Rep. Ben Cline released the following statement:

“The last thing hardworking families and small businesses need is more IRS bureaucrats spying on their Venmo accounts to squeeze more money out of their pockets,” Rep. Cline said. “Americans deserve an IRS that works for them, not against them. Voting to repeal this funding for Biden’s army of 87,000 auditors is a great first step in the right direction and is the first of many promises House Republicans will deliver on in the 118th Congress.”

Watch Rep. Ben Cline’s speech on the House floor.

Congressman Ben Cline represents the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia. He previously was an attorney in private practice and served as an assistant prosecutor and Member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Cline and his wife, Elizabeth, live with their two children in Botetourt County.
