In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“Here in the Air Capital of the World, we know that aerospace and a host of other industries compete in the global marketplace. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the Working Families Tax Cuts made the United States the best place in the world to build a business and invest in our communities. Our international tax system should support that, not penalize American companies for growing around the world.”

“When it comes to international taxes, American businesses and workers should come first.”
Estes Introduces Bill to Update US International Tax RulesSep 17, 2026 · Official · estes.house.gov · source
“By preventing fraudulent IRS returns from being filed with EFIN verification, this legislation will maintain the integrity of our tax system, prevent scams before they happen, and codify an already-existing IRS program into law.”
Rep. Estes Introduces Legislation to Prevent Fraudulent IRS ReturnsSep 14, 2026 · Official · estes.house.gov · source
“The EFIN Verification Act of 2026 will reduce the risk of fraudsters using stolen or compromised EFIN numbers to file IRS returns.”
Rep. Estes Introduces Legislation to Prevent Fraudulent IRS ReturnsSep 14, 2026 · Official · estes.house.gov · source
“For too long, D.C. bureaucrats attempted to weaponize the Endangered Species Act to implement a hostile land grab, ignoring the stable population data and the successful voluntary conservation efforts already in place. By officially stripping these overreaching protections, we are liberating Kansans from an unscientific and burdensome mandate that threatened our local economies and American energy independence.”
Rep. Estes Statement on Lesser Prairie Chicken Regulations RemovedFeb 26, 2026 · Official · estes.house.gov · source
“Today is a massive win for common sense, for Kansas, for the hardworking farmers and ranchers who have been the true stewards of our land for generations, the energy producers, and our community partners.”

“Throughout the course of the last year, Republicans have united to put America First, leading with results both in the administration and here in Congress. The President is right to be optimistic — we have accomplished a great deal, but there is still more work to be done.”
