WASHINGTON – Sens. John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., said the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act by a vote of 51-50 on Tuesday will provide tax relief for families and small businesses and fulfill other promises made by President Trump.

“The One Big Beautiful Bill will provide permanent tax relief, ensuring that Americans can keep more of their hard-earned dollars,” Hoeven said. “This legislation delivers on promises made by President Trump, including securing the border, investing in our military, empowering American energy dominance and supporting our farmers and ranchers. These are the priorities that will make our nation more prosperous and more secure.”

“Our vote today is a decisive step toward implementing President Trump’s agenda and restoring some fiscal sanity to Washington, D.C.,” Cramer said. “This bill delivers Republicans’ promise to extend pro-growth tax policy permanently, giving much-needed certainty to American families and

businesses. We are aligning federal spending with North Dakota pragmatism — slashing Green New Deal gimmicks, boosting reliable energy sources, delivering unprecedented resources to the border, and bringing defense efforts like the Golden Dome and nuclear modernization to fruition. It’s a win for every American who believes prosperity, security, and fiscal responsibility go hand in hand.”

The bill will bolster the military. In North Dakota, that includes, according to information from Hoeven’s office:

– $15 billion to enhance nuclear deterrence, including the nuclear missions based at Minot Air Force Base with $2.5 billion for the new Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program, $500 million to sustain the existing Minuteman III ICBM and $200 million for additional MH-1139 Grey Wolf helicopters.

– $25 billion to support the Golden Dome initiative, with investments in hypersonic testing, ground-based radars, and space-based sensors that support North Dakota-based missions and capabilities.

– Improves servicemembers’ quality of life through increased allowances and special pays, as well as improvements to housing, health care, childcare and education.
