BOOKER, BROWN, BENNET, DELAURO, DELBENE, TORRES STATEMENT ON IMPORTANCE OF CTC PERMANENCE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), and Michael Bennet (D-CO), alongside U.S. Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Suzan DelBene (D-WA), and Ritchie Torres (D-NY), released the following statement on the importance of passing CTC permanence in Congress:

“Expansion of the Child Tax Credit is the most significant policy to come out of Washington in generations, and Congress has an historic opportunity to provide a lifeline to the middle class and to cut child poverty in half on a permanent basis. No recovery will be complete unless our tax code provides a sustained pathway to economic prosperity for working families and children. Permanent expansion of CTC will continue to be our priority.”
