WASHINGTON, DC—Today, National Taxpayers Union (NTU) named Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) Taxpayer Defender of the Month for his work to combat waste, fraud, and abuse and repeal overbearing regulations.

Rep. Davidson introduced amendments to the 2027 budget resolution that would require Congress to significantly reduce the deficit by cutting waste.

The amendments include:

• Strengthening eligibility verification for Affordable Care Act subsidies
• Phasing out Medicaid provider taxes that allow states to shift costs to federal taxpayers
• Increasing state SNAP cost-sharing and strengthening work requirements

He also championed the repeal of Beneficial Ownership regulations, which threaten privacy and disproportionately burden small businesses. While the Trump Administration recently exempted American businesses from the mandate, a future administration could reverse that decision. Rep. Davidson’s Repealing Big Brother Overreach Act would repeal the Corporate Transparency Act and permanently eliminate the reporting requirements.

“Washington’s deficit spending is out of control. Every dollar Congress borrows fuels inflation, erodes Americans’ purchasing power, and saddles future generations with more debt. Congress should cut waste before asking taxpayers to foot the bill,” Rep. Davidson said. 

“We are proud to select Rep. Davidson as our Taxpayer Defender of the Month. With the national debt now at $40 trillion, it is imperative that more members of Congress follow Rep. Davidson’s lead and take action to reduce the deficit,” NTU Executive Vice President Brandon Arnold said.

The Taxpayer Defender award is presented by National Taxpayers Union to recognize leaders who demonstrate a strong commitment to fiscal discipline, transparency, and protecting taxpayers.
