Bresnahan ‘set to personally benefit after voting for President Donald Trump’s tax cuts for the country’s wealthiest Americans’
Washington, D.C. — Congressman Rob Bresnahan (PA-08) arrived in Congress earlier this year as a multimillionaire with a secret helicopter. And according to Keystone Newsroom, the Congressman’s vote for the Republican Tax Law is potentially set to make him even richer.
From Keystone Newsroom:
It appears that US Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-Luzerne) is set to take home an extra $20,000 in income thanks to the tax cuts he voted for in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill…Bresnahan has a net worth of close to $50 million thanks to the massive stock portfolio he obtained after selling his family’s construction business to a venture capital firm.
In addition to the $20,000 Keystone Newsroom is reporting the Congressman may make from his vote for the Republican Tax Law, multiple outlets have reported on the money the Congressman has potentially made from his prolific stock trading.
Unrig Our Economy and groups across Pennsylvania have launched ‘Rep. Bresnahan’s Soaring Costs’ campaign to hold the Congressman accountable for voting to raise costs for Pennsylvanians while giving tax breaks to multimillionaires like himself.
“Congressman Rob Bresnahan is raising costs for Pennsylvanians and stripping health care from working families while voting to give himself tax breaks,” said Unrig Our Economy Campaign Director Leor Tal. “Twenty thousand dollars may not be a lot to a secret helicopter owner flying as high as Congressman Rob Bresnahan. But his vote to give himself another tax giveaway is a real gut punch for Pennsylvanians struggling with soaring costs.”
The New York Times reported in August that Congressman Bresnahan sold bonds in Pennsylvania hospitals following the publication of a report that Pennsylvania rural hospitals were at risk of closure. After safely selling off his hospital bonds, Bresnahan proceeded to vote for the largest Medicaid cut in history.
Congressman Bresnahan has also faced scrutiny for selling stock in a health care company hurt by his Medicaid cuts. He’s also complained to local news outlets that it’s ‘downright excruciating’ to follow through on the established ethics process to put his assets in a blind trust and eliminate conflicts of interest.
