Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today after Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp released the Republican proposal on tax reform:

"The Republican tax proposal must be judged by its impact on the middle class, its consequences for working families, and its effect on our nation's deficit. Any tax reform plan must grow the economy, encourage job creation, and strengthen the middle class. We will evaluate this Republican plan to see if it meets that standard.

"This Republican measure must be reviewed as part of a broader discussion on action to build an economy that works for everyone."
