EAU CLAIRE, WI – Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Eau Claire Chamber of Commerce hosted U.S. Representative Derrick Van Orden (R-WI-03) for a roundtable discussion in Eau Claire, Wisconsin with local business leaders on the pro-growth business tax provisions in President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law on July 4th. This forward-looking, pro-growth policy is vital to maintaining America's prosperity and competitive edge and will create new opportunities for American workers and businesses to thrive. 

We applaud Congressman Van Orden for working to ensure that the constituents of the 3rd District of Wisconsin continue to benefit from long-term tax relief, fostering growth for workers and businesses across his district and beyond.  

"The U.S. Chamber thanks Congressman Van Orden for championing pro-growth policies in the One Big Beautiful Bill, helping to ensure small businesses and workers in Wisconsin’s third district can continue to thrive,” said Rodney Davis, Head of Government Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “His leadership is paving the way for a more resilient and competitive economic future nationwide—one that gives businesses the long-term certainty needed to invest, grow, and hire.” 

“The One, Big, Beautiful Bill is a win for hardworking Wisconsinites,” said Congressman Van Orden. “We secured historic tax cuts, eliminated taxes on tips and overtime pay, provided $1 billion for BadgerCare and $500 million for rural healthcare infrastructure, and invested in manufacturing and business development. This bill puts more money in the pockets of working families and will strengthen Wisconsin’s economy for years to come. I thank the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Eau Claire Chamber for hosting this roundtable today and providing a platform to highlight the positive impacts these policies will have across the Third District.” 

“This recently-passed legislation contains many provisions that provide local businesses with the certainty they need to plan and invest,” said David Minor, President and CEO of the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce. “By extending current tax cuts, it avoids a massive tax increase. And Congress sends a signal that rewards innovation and capital investment with things like restoring full R&D expensing & 100% bonus depreciation, and creating a new accelerated deduction for qualifying production structures." 

The U.S. Chamber’s tax roundtables are a part of its Growing America’s Future campaign, an education and advocacy blitz in support of maintaining a pro-growth tax code to foster a robust U.S. economy that benefits all Americans. To date, the Chamber has hosted over 50 tax roundtables, and these events will continue over the coming months in communities across the country.
