Kyle Kashuk

Good evening, Northeastern Pennsylvania.

My name is Kyle, and I'm proud to be here tonight.

I am a born and raised Pennsylvanian working as a police officer and volunteer firefighter just 10 minutes away from my childhood home in Luzerne County.

As a police officer, I work a lot of overtime.

For some people, overtime is optional.

But for first responders, overtime is a reality of the job.

Communities depend on us to be there in a crisis, whether it happens at Sunday at 3 p.m.

or Tuesday at 3 a.m.

I am proud of the work I do, and I'm happy to do it.

But the hours could take a toll.

But knowing now that this work isn't going to be taxed, well, that really goes a long way.

Congressman Bresnahan helped pass the historic legislation President Trump signed that is going to put more money in the pockets of working families and first responders like me.

Making overtime tax-free helps us stretch our paychecks further at a time when everything feels more expensive.

The extra money in my pocket is going towards putting down roots, buying a house, starting a family.

I really feel supported by this policy.

It shows me that they didn't forget us.
