(OH-13) 251016 Positive Message Backup Voters in Ohio’s 13th district and specifically African American voters need to see on streaming devices and YouTube that Emilia Sykes is working to lower the cost of healthcare and energy bills and has a bill to eliminate taxes on overtime work so you can keep more of your hard earned money. Congresswoman Emilia Sykes Was Fighting To Lower The Cost Of Healthcare September 2025: Congresswoman Sykes Cosponsored A Bill That Would Reverse The Big Beautiful Bill’s Medicaid Cuts And Permanently Extend The Affordable Care Act’s Premium Tax Credits The Big Beautiful Bill, Which Congresswoman Sykes Voted Against, Cut Medicaid And Failed To Extend The Affordable Care Act’s Tax Credits, Threatening Access To Care For Thousands Of Ohioans In The 13th District July 2025: Congresswoman Sykes Voted Against The Big Beautiful Bill July 3, 2025: Sykes Voted Against The Big Beautiful Bill. On July 3, 2025, Emilia Sykes voted against: “Motion to concur in the Senate amendment to the bill that would permanently extend nearly $4 trillion in expiring individual and business tax cuts, create several new tax breaks and fund border and immigration enforcement and air traffic control upgrades. It would cut Medicaid and other safety net programs to partly offset the cost. Among other provisions, it would raise the statutory debt ceiling by $5 trillion and appropriate more than $448 billion in mandatory funding for Trump administration priorities and other needs, including $153 billion for defense, $89 billion for immigration enforcement, and $89.5 billion for border control and security. It also would increase the state and local tax deduction cap to $40,000 annually for five years for households making up to $500,000 a year until 2030, when it would permanently revert to $10,000.” Motion agreed to 218-214. [H.R.1, Vote 190, 7/3/25; CQ, 7/3/25] The Big Beautiful Bill Cut Medicaid And Failed To Extend The Affordable Care Act’s Enhanced Premium Tax Credits… KFF: The Big Beautiful Bill Cut Medicaid “By An Estimated $911 Billion.” “On July 4, President Trump signed into law a budget reconciliation package once called the ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ that made major reductions in federal health care spending to offset part of the costs of extending expiring tax cuts. The Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) latest cost estimate shows that the reconciliation package would reduce federal Medicaid spending over a decade by an estimated $911 billion (after accounting for interactions that produce overlapping reductions across different provisions of the law) and increase the number of uninsured people by 10 million.” [KFF, 7/23/25] CNBC: The Big Beautiful Bill Did Not Extend The Affordable Care Act’s “Enhanced Premium Tax Credits.” “Republicans gave a roughly $4 trillion tax cut to Americans in the so-called ‘big beautiful bill’ that President Donald Trump signed into law July 4, extending several tax provisions scheduled to expire in 2026. However, there was a notable omission, according to health policy experts: an extension of a tax break that lowered health insurance premiums for millions of people. The enhanced premium tax credits, in place since 2021, have lowered the cost of health insurance premiums for those who buy coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplace. Enrollees can use these to lower their premium costs upfront or claim the credits at tax time, but the credits are scheduled to expire after 2025.” [CNBC, 7/11/25] …Threatening Tens Of Thousands Of Ohioans In The 13th District’s Access To Affordable Health Care Joint Economic Committee: 31,549 People In Ohio’s 13th Congressional District Would Lose Their Access To Health Care Because Of The Big Beautiful Bill.

[KFF, 2/3/25] Congresswoman Sykes Cosponsored A Bill That Would “Permanently Extend The Affordable Care Act’s Premium Tax Credits” And Reverse The Big Beautiful Bill’s Medicaid Cuts September 2025: Sykes Cosponsored The “Protecting Health Care And Lowering Costs Act Of 2025.” “U.S. Representative Emilia Sykes (OH-13) recently co-sponsored H.R.4849, the Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2025. This bill, introduced by Congressman Adam Gray (CA-13), would reverse all of the healthcare cuts made in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, H.R. 1, including those to Medicaid, and would permanently extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Premium Tax Credits.” [Congresswoman Emilia Sykes, Press Release, 9/19/25] • The Protecting Health Care And Lowering Costs Act Of 2025 Would “Permanently Extend The Affordable Care Act’s Premium Tax Credits.” “Representative Adam Gray (CA-13), joined by House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (CA-33) and Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone (NJ-06), led a group of House Democrats today in calling on Congress to pass Rep. Gray’s bill, the Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2025, to restore Medicaid funding and permanently extend the Affordable Care Act’s premium tax credits.” [Congressman Adam Gray, Press Release, 9/11/25] • September 2025: The Protecting Health Care And Lowering Costs Act Of 2025 Would “Reverse All Of The Healthcare Cuts Made In The One Big Beautiful Bill … Including Those To Medicaid.” “U.S. Representative Emilia Sykes (OH-13) recently co-sponsored H.R.4849, the Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2025.

On September 4, 2025, Congresswoman Sykes voted against: “Passage of the bill, as amended, that would provide a net total of $61 billion in discretionary funding for the Energy Department, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation and related agencies — including $57.3 billion subject to the measure's discretionary allocation and $3.5 billion from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund that would not count against discretionary limits. The bill would provide $25.3 billion for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an increase of $1.2 billion above the fiscal 2025 enacted level. This would include $20.7 billion for weapons activities and $2 billion for defense nuclear nonproliferation. It also would provide $2.2 billion for naval reactors, including Columbia-class submarine reactor development and the Spent Fuel Handling Facility project. It would provide $8.4 billion for the Energy Department's Office of Science, and $1.8 billion for the Office of Nuclear Energy. The measure also would provide $7.7 billion for environmental management and cleanup activities, including the continued remediation of contamination during weapons production in the Cold War-era. The bill would provide $9.9 billion for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Of that total, $6.1 billion would be for operations and maintenance of corps' water projects, and $2.6 billion would be for construction activities. It would specify that funds under the measure could only be used for projects that are authorized. The measure also includes several policy riders, including provisions to prohibit the use of funds for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and prohibit any discriminatory action against individuals advocating that marriage is between a man and a woman. Passed 214-213.” [H.R. 4553, Vote 239, 9/4/25; CQ, 9/4/25] The Energy-Water Resolutions Bill Included “Deep Cuts To Clean Energy And Energy Efficiency Programs That Help Reduce Utility Costs” Center For American Progress: The Energy-Water Appropriations Bill Included “Deep Cuts To Clean Energy And Energy Efficiency Programs That Help Reduce Utility Costs.” “Meanwhile, the House Appropriations Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies bill, which passed committee on July 17, proposes deep cuts to clean energy and energy efficiency programs that help reduce utility costs for American families. This follows last month’s passage of the OBBBA, which is already projected to raise gasoline costs and household energy expenses as early as next year. The appropriations bill would slash funding for the DOE’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Program nearly in half. This includes funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program, which reduces energy costs for low-income households by increasing their energy efficiency.” [Center for American Progress, 8/12/25] • The Bill “Would Slash Funding […] Nearly In Half” For The Department Of Energy’s “Energy Efficiency And Renewable Program.” “Meanwhile, the House Appropriations Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies bill, which passed committee on July 17, proposes deep cuts to clean energy and energy efficiency programs that help reduce utility costs for American families. This follows last month’s passage of the OBBBA, which is already projected to raise gasoline costs and household energy expenses as early as next year.

This includes funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program, which reduces energy costs for low-income households by increasing their energy efficiency.” [Center for American Progress, 8/12/25] • The Bill Cut Funding For A Program That “Reduces Energy Costs For Low-Income Households.” “Meanwhile, the House Appropriations Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies bill, which passed committee on July 17, proposes deep cuts to clean energy and energy efficiency programs that help reduce utility costs for American families. This follows last month’s passage of the OBBBA, which is already projected to raise gasoline costs and household energy expenses as early as next year. The appropriations bill would slash funding for the DOE’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Program nearly in half. This includes funding for the Weatherization Assistance Program, which reduces energy costs for low-income households by increasing their energy efficiency.” [Center for American Progress, 8/12/25] House Appropriations Democrats: H.R. 4553 Would Increase Energy Costs House Appropriations Democrats: The Republicans Energy-Water Bill Would Increase “Energy Costs.” “House Appropriations Committee Republicans today released the draft fiscal year 2026 Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies funding bill, which will be considered in subcommittee tomorrow. The bill raises costs for American households, undermines infrastructure investments, and weakens our national security. For 2026, the Energy and Water bill provides $57.3 billion in discretionary funding. Within that amount, the bill provides $24.1 billion for nondefense programs, a cut of over $675 million, or 2.7 percent, below the fiscal year 2025 enacted level, and $33.2 billion for defense programs, a cut of $91 million, or 0.3 percent, below the fiscal year 2025 enacted level. The legislation: Increases energy costs, jeopardizes energy independence, and hurts United States’ competitiveness by slashing the Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy programs nearly in half, revoking more than $5 billion from the Department of Energy’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law resources, and eliminating funding for the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations.” [House Appropriations Committee Democrats, Press Release, 7/13/25] July 2025: Congresswoman Sykes Voted Against The Big Beautiful Bill, Which Was Projected To Raise Ohioans Energy Costs July 2025: Congresswoman Sykes Voted Against The Big Beautiful Bill July 3, 2025: Emilia Sykes Voted Against The Big Beautiful Bill.

[H.R.1, Vote 190, 7/3/25; CQ, 7/3/25] The Big Beautiful Bill Was Projected To Raise Energy Prices Nationwide, Including In Ohio The Big Beautiful Bill Was Projected To Raise Energy Prices Nationwide… Rhodium: The House-Passed Republican Reconciliation Bill Would Raise Households’ Energy Costs. “Work is underway in Congress to construct and pass a budget reconciliation bill or bills to meet an array of priorities and policy objectives set by President Trump. Most of these priorities focus on increasing spending on defense and border security as well as extending and possibly expanding the tax cuts enacted in Trump’s first term. In this note, we estimate how much energy costs could rise for households and industry if Congress chooses to partially pay for these priorities through the rollback and repeal of key pollution regulations and energy tax credits. We find that on a national level, households see an increase in annual energy costs of $184 in 2030 and $371 in 2035. However, households in many states see much higher cost increases than the national average. This includes Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas, which, at the upper bound of our estimates, see annual cost increases of $250-$326 per household in 2030. In 2035, California, Oregon, and Washington all see estimated annual cost increases of over $800 per household. The rollback and repeal of regulations and tax credits also increase costs for industrial manufacturers. We estimate an increase of $8-14 billion in total energy spending across the industrial sector in 2030 and 2035. We provide impacts for each of the 50 states on the ClimateDeck as part of this analysis.” [Rhodium Group, 3/20/25] CNBC: “Overall, Household Energy Costs Will Rise By $170, On Average, By 2035, Researchers Found.” “Electricity prices are expected to surge higher throughout the next decade due to energy policy changes in President Donald Trump’s ‘big beautiful’ bill, according to a new analysis from Energy Innovation, a non-partisan energy and climate think tank. Signed July 4, the bill mandates expanded oil and gas leasing, caps clean energy subsidies and rolls back tax credits that helped to make wind, solar and other clean power cheaper for manufacturers and more affordable for consumers, says Robbie Orvis, senior director for modeling and analysis at Energy Innovation. When the clean energy tax credits phase out at the end of 2025, that will bump up electricity costs for ordinary Americans, Orvis says. That’s largely because higher costs for clean energy development will slow the pace of new supply, just as U.S. energy demand hits record highs, he says, resulting in higher electricity bills and increased reliance on natural gas, which will also become more expensive with rising demand. […] Overall, household energy costs will rise by $170, on average, by 2035, researchers found. And that estimate may be conservative. A report from Princeton University’s Rapid Energy Policy Evaluation and Analysis Toolkit pegs the average increase at $280 a year by 2035.” [CNBC, 7/14/25] • CNBC: “Electricity Prices Are Expected To Surge Higher Throughout The Next Decade Due To Energy Policy Changes In President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’” “Electricity prices are expected to surge higher throughout the next decade due to energy policy changes in President Donald Trump’s ‘big beautiful’ bill, according to a new analysis from Energy Innovation, a non-partisan energy and climate think tank. Signed July 4, the bill mandates expanded oil and gas leasing, caps clean energy subsidies and rolls back tax credits that helped to make wind, solar and other clean power cheaper for manufacturers and more affordable for consumers, says Robbie Orvis, senior director for modeling and analysis at Energy Innovation.” [CNBC, 7/14/25] • Energy Innovation: “The Law Will Harm America By Cutting New Electricity Capacity Additions, Increasing Consumer Power Prices, And Reducing U.S. GDP And Job Growth.” “The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4th. The final legislation contains policies that would increase oil and gas leasing, cut fossil fuel royalty rates, repeal clean energy tax credits, and delay funding for agricultural and forestry conservation. The law will harm America by cutting new electricity capacity additions, increasing consumer power prices, and reducing U.S. GDP and job growth.” [Energy Innovation, 7/1/25] CNN: “Energy Innovation Found Wholesale Electricity Prices Would Increase By 50% By 2035.” “House Republicans gutted energy savings and clean energy tax credits in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax bill — taking aim at funds that are creating thousands of jobs in GOP states and saving homeowners money on their bills. It’s all on the chopping block. The House GOP passed Trump’s tax package on a narrow vote Thursday morning. The bill now heads to the Senate. The bill would end tax credits that helped lower the cost of electric vehicles, energy efficient appliances, rooftop solar and insulation. In last-minute changes to the bill, Republicans sped up the timelines for phasing out key clean energy tax credits. [...] Orvis said the Republican tax bill could not only hurt future projects, it will likely hurt existing manufacturing facilities as well. ‘Some of the proposed language in the (bill) text actually puts existing facilities at risk because they will no longer qualify to receive some of the tax credits that they got financing on,’ Orvis said. The cost of electricity for everyday Americans and businesses would also go up; Energy Innovation found wholesale electricity prices would increase by 50% by 2035. This is in large part because solar and wind energy are cheaper than fossil fuels.” [CNN, 5/22/25] …Including In Ohio CNN: Ohioans Energy Prices Were Projected To Increase By “$194 More Per Year” Because Of The Big Beautiful Bill. [CNN, updated 7/4/25] Energy Innovation, June 2025: “The Average Ohio Household Will Spend $130 More On Annual Vehicle Fuel Alone In 2030 And $300 Annually In 2035” Because Of The Big Beautiful Bill. “Some fuels see greater price increases than others; in Ohio in 2035, we find a $0.27 per gallon increase in gasoline (approximately 9.4 percent), 5.2- and 2.3-percent increases in residential electricity and natural gas prices, respectively, and 8.2- and 15-percent increases in electricity and natural gas prices for industrial producers, respectively. We find the average Ohio household will spend $130 more on annual vehicle fuel alone in 2030 and $300 annually in 2035. Due to consumers’ increased reliance on more expensive fossil fuels, the EI House OBBBA scenario forecasts an increase of $2.9 billion in fuel and O&M costs in 2030, rising to $5.3 billion in 2035 in Ohio.” [Energy Innovation, June 2025] Congresswoman Emilia Sykes Was The Sponsor Of A Bill To Eliminate Taxes On Overtime For All Workers Congresswoman Sykes Was An Original Cosponsor Of A Bipartisan Bill To Eliminate Tax On Overtime For All Workers, Including First Responders, Municipal Workers, And Union Workers 2025: Emilia Sykes Helped Introduce A Bipartisan Bill To Eliminate Tax On Overtime For All Workers… September 2025: Sykes Introduced The No Tax On Overtime For All Workers Act. “Today, U.S. Representatives Emilia Sykes (D-OH), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Steven Horsford (D-NV), Nick LaLota (R-NY), Tom Suozzi (D-NY), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) introduced the bipartisan No Tax on Overtime for All Workers Act to expand the no tax on overtime provision for workers whose eligibility was excluded from the provisions included in H.R. 1, the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’.

Many transportation workers, including in the airline and railroad sectors, are subject to the Railroad Labor Act and under current law, their overtime pay is still subject to federal income tax. FLSA also does not take into account how collective bargaining agreements define full-time and overtime work and uses unrealistic formulas for computing overtime hours for some workers, including emergency responders.” [Congresswoman Emilia Sykes, Press Release, 9/19/25] Congresswoman Sykes: The No Tax On Overtime For All Workers Act Would “Eliminate Tax On Overtime.” “H.R.1 defined ‘overtime’ using the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which poses several issues, first: not all workers are covered under FLSA.

FLSA also does not take into account how collective bargaining agreements define full-time and overtime work and uses unrealistic formulas for computing overtime hours for some workers, including emergency responders. ‘American workers deserve a break. This bill will eliminate tax on overtime, giving people more breathing room and more money in their pockets. As a champion of working people, I’m proud to lead this bipartisan bill to ensure all workers get the benefit of no tax on overtime,’ said Rep. Sykes.” [Congresswoman Emilia Sykes, Press Release, 9/19/25] • Transport Workers Union Of America: The No Tax On Overtime For All Workers Act Would Make “About Three Million Workers” Eligible “For A Tax Deduction On Overtime Earnings.” “A new, bipartisan bill introduced Thursday and backed by the Transport Workers Union of America would expand the No Tax on Overtime policy to include about three million workers who are currently ineligible for a tax deduction on overtime earnings. ‘Half of our membership is currently ineligible for this critical tax break and the TWU will not rest until all blue-collar workers are deemed eligible for the overtime earnings tax break,’ TWU International President John Samuelsen said. ‘Pro-worker lawmakers from both parties are stepping up to deliver thousands of dollars in yearly savings for transport workers and their families.’” [Transport Workers Union of America, Press Release, 9/19/25] …Including First Responders, Municipal Workers, And Union Workers IBEW: The No Tax On Overtime For All Workers Act Would Expand No Tax On Overtime Provisions To Cover “First Responders.” “The new bill, dubbed the No Tax on Overtime for All Workers Act, would expand the tax deduction to include workers covered by the Railway Labor Act and workers whose overtime is defined by a collective bargaining agreement.
