An Open Letter

To: Sen. Hughes, Rep. Khan

From: A constituent in Philadelphia, PA

October 22, 2025

As your constituent, I urge you to protect essential tax credits—especially the Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)—and to take immediate action to reopen and fund the federal government. These tax credits lift millions out of poverty and support working families. Cutting or weakening them would hurt those already struggling. At the same time, the ongoing government shutdown is harming workers, families, and the broader economy. We need a bipartisan solution now. Please support legislation that strengthens these credits and ends the shutdown. Your leadership is needed to put families and communities first. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue
