Reminder: Rebecca Cooke, Emily Berge, and Laura Benjamin pushed to hike taxes, jeopardize benefits for Wisconsinites

July 21, 2025

President Trump and Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill has officially been signed into law, delivering huge wins for Wisconsinites. Here’s a reminder of the pro-family, pro-worker policies that out of touch Democrats Rebecca Cooke, Emily Berge, and Laura Benjamin pushed AGAINST for Wisconsinites:

  • Real Wage Increase: $3,500-$6,400
  • Real Take-Home Pay Increase: $7,100-$10,100
  • Seniors Benefiting from No Tax on Social Security: 1.1 million
  • No Tax on Tips Share Labor Force Benefit: 5%
  • No Tax on Overtime Share Workforce Benefit: 27%
  • Jobs Protected: 125,000

“The facts couldn’t be any clearer: President Trump and Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill is a huge win for Wisconsinites. Instead of supporting this landmark legislation, out of touch Democrats Rebecca Cooke, Emily Berge, and Laura Benjamin tried to stop it, and Wisconsin voters won’t forget.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
