Ahead of the April 15th deadline for tax filing, Joint Economic Committee Chairman David Schweikert (R-AZ), Ranking Member Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Vice Chairman Eric Schmitt (R-MO), and Senior House Democrat Don Beyer (D-VA) issued a bipartisan alert today warning Americans about common tax season scams.

U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Joint Economic Committee, issued a report today that details the ways in which the Trump administration’s tariff policy — and the resulting uncertainty for businesses in the housing sector — has slowed construction of housing in the United States, which will, in turn, exacerbate the affordable housing shortage.

U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Joint Economic Committee, today launched a community survey to learn more about the experiences of Granite Staters living in mobile home communities. In recent years, as big corporations have bought up more of these communities, reports of exploitative rent increases and neglected facilities have surged. Last December, Senator Hassan launched an investigation into the largest corporate owners of American mobile home parks, pressing the companies for answers on how their business practices affect residents in New England. Responses to the community survey will inform Senator Hassan’s investigation and efforts to improve Granite Staters’ access to safe, affordable housing. Survey responses will remain confidential unless residents provide permission to share their names.

The Joint Economic Committee – Minority today released new data estimating that families could pay more than $2,500 in tariffs costs this year.
