WASHINGTON, D.C. – After four years of Biden’s poor economic policies that harmed Georgians at every turn, President Trump has spent the first year of his presidency delivering results for hardworking Americans.

From historic tax relief to unleashing American energy, this administration is focused on policies that reduce everyday costs and strengthen Georgia’s economy.

“For Georgia workers, families, and seniors, President Trump’s first year was about results. Together, we cut taxes, unleashed American energy, and rewarded hard work so Georgians could keep more of their paycheck,” said Rep. Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (R-GA). “Whether you’re a service worker on the coast, a small business owner, or a senior on a fixed income, these policies delivered real savings and bigger paychecks.”

Republican Policies Working for Georgians

This administration is laser-focused on delivering bigger paychecks for Georgia workers. On July 4th, 2025, President Trump signed the Working Families Tax Cuts, delivering the largest tax cut in American history. These pro-worker provisions delivered bigger paychecks – amounting to about a $5,000 increase for the average Georgia family in take-home pay. We doubled the standard deduction, significantly decreasing the amount of taxable income. We reduced taxes on Social Security benefits—providing direct relief for Georgia seniors, and doubled the Child Tax Credit to $2,200, further supporting Georgia families.

Republicans also delivered targeted tax relief to reward work and support families, including eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay, cutting costs on auto loan interest for American-made vehicles, and protecting small businesses through permanent pass-through tax relief. Together, these policies put thousands of dollars back into the pockets of Georgia workers and families.

Trump Accounts: Investing in the Next Generation

Republicans and the Trump administration created Trump Accounts. This one-time federal contribution of $1,000 per eligible child actively invests in the next generation to make the American Dream more achievable. Authorized contributions from individuals and employers are allowed up to $5,000 per year, setting the next generation up for success and making the American Dream more affordable.

Unleashing American Energy

President Trump’s America First energy agenda reversed costly Biden-era regulations and unleashed domestic production. By expanding American energy, streamlining permitting, and cutting red tape, Republicans helped drive down gas prices, lower electricity costs, and reduce the price of goods that rely on affordable transportation and power, saving Georgians money at every turn. Currently, gas in Georgia costs around $2.63 a gallon – that’s an 11% decrease from a year ago.

Fair Trade and Tariffs

President Trump restored fair trade policies to defend American workers and businesses. Billions of dollars have been collected through targeted tariffs on unfair foreign competitors protecting Georgian industries, helping to preserve good-paying jobs and strengthening domestic supply chains that keep prices stable for consumers.

Foreign Investment and Reshoring Manufacturing

Thanks to President Trump’s pro-growth policies, trillions of dollars in private investment flowed back into the United States. Companies reshored operations, expanded facilities, and invested in American workers—creating jobs, growing wages, and strengthening Georgia’s economy for the long term.
