Congressman Greg Landsman, who represents Ohio’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, outlined legislative alternatives to a recently passed budget bill through a series of tweets posted on July 31, 2025. In his posts, Landsman highlighted two proposed bills and emphasized a broader package aimed at addressing systemic issues.

In his first tweet, Landsman introduced an alternative tax proposal: "Reward Hard Work, Not Wealth Act: This is the alternative to the terrible budget bill they just passed. It would fix the tax code, making sure that everybody at the top pays all their taxes. Then, we can provide meaningful tax relief for the working folks, small businesses," he wrote on July 31.

He followed this by referencing a broader legislative agenda: "Ours — the 'Pledge to America' includes 10 bills will fundamentally fix what’s broken."

Addressing infrastructure and housing concerns in another post from the same day, Landsman stated: "2. The Build Baby Build Bill: Yes, that’s a lot. But we need to build again: More housing, more infrastructure, more broadband. All so we can have lower rent, lower housing costs, and better access."

Landsman's proposals come as part of his ongoing efforts since taking office in 2023 after replacing Steve Chabot as representative for Ohio’s 1st district. He has been vocal about reforming tax policy and expanding infrastructure development during his tenure in Congress. Born in Cincinnati in 1976 and currently residing there with a degree from Ohio University obtained in 1999, Landsman's legislative priorities often reflect both local concerns and national debates over economic fairness and access to essential services.
