On May 22, 2025, Ashley Hinson cast one of the votes that passed the House version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act 215 to 214, and on July 3 she voted for final passage. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the law costs the lowest-income tenth of households about $1,200 a year and adds $4.2 trillion to the national debt through 2034.
In April 2026 Hinson voted for a House resolution praising the law as the "Working Families Tax Cuts." In Iowa, the law's Medicaid cuts, which help pay for the tax cuts, total about $9.5 billion over ten years.
Ashley Hinson's Votes on the Tax Law and the Deficit
- Hinson Cast One of the Votes That Passed the Tax and Spending Bill by a Single Vote, Then Voted for the Final Law, in 2025. On May 22, 2025, Ashley Hinson voted yes on the House version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed 215 to 214 with one member voting present, so any one of the yes votes switching would have defeated it. On July 3, 2025, she voted yes on final passage, which passed 218 to 214. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the lowest-income earners will lose an average $1,200 in overall household resources a year under the law, mostly because of its Medicaid and SNAP cuts, while the top decile will receive a windfall of $13,600 every year. Its updated estimate is that the law will add $4.2 trillion to the national debt through 2034 and $4.7 trillion through 2035.
- Hinson Voted for a Resolution Claiming the Law Cuts Taxes 15 Percent for the Bottom 40 Percent, in April 2026. On April 16, 2026, Hinson voted yes on H.Res. 1156, which passed 219 to 207 and praised the law as the "Working Families Tax Cuts." The resolution states that the law will result in a 15 percent tax cut for Americans whose income is in the bottom 40 percent, a figure that counts only tax changes. The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found that for the poorest fifth of Americans, the average tax change from OBBBA is a small tax increase, while the average tax change for the richest one percent under OBBBA is more than $70,000 this year.
- Hinson Voted for the Budget Plan That Allowed $1.5 Trillion in Deficit-Financed Tax Cuts, by Two Votes, in April 2025. On April 10, 2025, Hinson voted yes on the final budget resolution, H.Con.Res. 14, which passed 216 to 214, so a switch by her alone would have tied it and a tie fails. It let the Senate Finance Committee write tax changes that increase the deficit by not more than $1,500,000,000,000 for fiscal years 2025 through 2034. The Senate version of the bill that the resolution set up, which became law, costs more over the 2025-2034 window than the House version, the Yale Budget Lab found.
- Hinson Voted Against Extending the Health Insurance Tax Credits in January 2026. On January 8, 2026, Hinson voted no on H.R. 1834, a three-year extension of the enhanced premium tax credits, which passed 230 to 196 and then stalled in the Senate, where it was placed on the calendar. Without the tax credits, premium payments from enrollees increased by an average of 58% in 2026.
- Hinson Said the Law Cut Taxes for Working Iowans in July 2025. On July 3, 2025, Hinson said the law "enacts tax cuts for working Iowans". The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy estimates more than 70 percent of the net tax cuts will go to the richest fifth of Americans in 2026.
What the Tax Law Ashley Hinson Voted For Costs Iowa
- Medicaid money paying for the tax cuts. KFF's allocation of the Congressional Budget Office estimate is that the law cuts federal Medicaid funding for Iowa by about $9.5 billion over ten years, 17% of what the state would otherwise receive.
- Coverage. KFF projects the law leaves 80,000 more Iowans uninsured in 2034, and the Center for American Progress projects 25,000 more uninsured in Iowa's 2nd District, counting the expired credits.
- Interest costs. The Congressional Budget Office's February 2026 outlook projects that interest on the debt will more than double from $970 billion in 2025 to $2.1 trillion by 2036, which reflects the law along with other changes.
