French on the Issues

TAXES, jobs & ECONOMIC PROSPERITY

French has delivered real results for Arkansas families by cutting taxes and lowering costs. He helped pass the Working Families Tax Cut, putting up to $10,000 back in the pockets of an Arkansas family of four. The law’s sweeping successes included:

  • Eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay
  • Expanding Health Savings Accounts
  • Enhancing adoption credits
  • Delivering targeted tax relief for agriculture and rural lending
  • Creating “Invest in America” accounts for every American child, starting with a $1,000 contribution at birth

French also helped pass President Trump’s proposal to reduce taxes on Social Security by establishing a new deduction for senior citizens to lower their tax liability.

To fight inflation and reduce everyday expenses, French introduced the Price Stability Act to lower costs on essentials like groceries and gasoline and to force the government to focus on reducing inflation. He also backed the Lower Healthcare Premiums for All Americans Act to reduce insurance costs and make healthcare more affordable for working families.

French has been a strong advocate for economic growth and job creation. He introduced the 21st Century Housing Bill to increase housing affordability by modernizing outdated federal programs, removing regulatory roadblocks, and giving housing developers the flexibility needed to build more homes.

He also championed the relocation of airport navigation equipment at the Little Rock Port, unlocking nearly 1,000 acres for new business investment and job creation and transforming the site into a major industrial hub.

French is also leading in innovation and small business growth. He helped establish the first federal framework for stablecoin regulation, expanding opportunities in the digital economy while protecting consumers. He passed the INVEST Act to cut red tape and expand access to capital for small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs, and introduced the S-CAP Act to create new ownership opportunities for Arkansas workers.

He also introduced legislation to cap the federal long-term capital gains tax at 15 percent and promote responsible use of artificial intelligence in financial services to keep America competitive.

FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
& SECURING OUR BORDER

After eight trips to the border in nine years, French knows firsthand the struggles of border security and the incursion of illicit drugs. All states are border states.

French backed the Secure the Border Act and the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act.

He sponsored the Preventing Overdoses and Saving Lives Act 2.0 and the Fentanyl Sanctions Act, both of which were signed into law by President Trump to keep our most vulnerable safe.

French also supported the Laken Riley Act, which requires mandatory detention of criminal illegals charged with property or violent crimes and helps prevent future tragedies like the murder of nursing student Laken Riley by an illegal alien.

SUPPORTING
AMERICA’S HEROES

French championed the establishment and opening of Fisher House, a respite house on the VA Hospital campus, which enables the families of veterans receiving treatment to stay on the VA campus cost-free while their loved ones undergo treatment — saving those families over $600,000 in lodging expenses annually.

French’s veterans’ team has closed 2,000 cases for central Arkansas veterans and has recovered over $93 million in back pay and earned benefits.

French Hill is fighting for veterans on the House floor as well:

  • Co-sponsored the Veterans Benefits Expansion Act of 2025 to provide care to veterans and their families
  • Co-sponsored the Major Richard Star Act of 2025 to expand DoD retirement pay and full VA disability coverage for combat-injured veterans*
  • Co-sponsored the Shari Briley and Eric Edmundson Veterans Benefits Expansion to increase VA compensation tax-free benefits for catastrophically disabled veterans and surviving family members*

*Not yet passed into law

STANDING STRONG FOR
ARKANSAS SENIORS

French is the author of the Ticket to Work Advertisement Act to increase awareness of this critical program that helps Americans currently receiving Social Security disability benefits get back on their feet and back into the workforce. It's a straightforward, cost-effective way to bring the positive impact of work and individual freedom to individuals with disabilities.

French sponsored the Social Security Fairness Act, which ended benefit reductions for public pensioners, and the Act was signed into law by President Trump.

Working alongside President Trump, French helped pass the Working Families Reduction Act, creating a new deduction for seniors that reduces their tax burden, including for Social Security income.

CONSERVATION FOR
THE NATURAL STATE

French introduced the Flatside Wilderness Act to set aside wilderness in Perry County, to make the area more accessible to visitors, and to ensure the Flatside Wilderness remains an integral part of what makes Arkansas the “Natural State”. President Trump signed the Flatside Wilderness Act into law on January 10, 2019.

This Congress expanded the Flatside Wilderness area in another bill to add 2,200 national forest acres to the Flatside Wilderness.

French introduced a bill to provide funding for the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Energy, which ensures the Little Red River will be part of the sustainable rivers program.

DRAINING THE TAX
& SPEND SWAMP

French champions the Golden Fleece Award, which he gives to highlight current federal spending waste.

French has sponsored two balanced budget amendments to the U.S. Constitution, believing that the federal government needs to live within its means like Arkansas families do.

ARKANSAS CONSERVATIVE
FAMILY VALUES

French believes in protecting the unborn. He defends our Second Amendment rights.

He defends our right to practice our religion and protects religious liberty and freedom worldwide.

French Hill is the Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services.  As chair, he directs and leads six subcommittees and appointed task forces and leads 30 Republican members of the committee. He works in a bipartisan fashion with the 24 Democratic members. 

During French’s chairmanship in the current Congress. 50 hearings have been convened, 194 witnesses have testified, 10 markups have been held, 103 bills have been passed by committee, and 44 bills have been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. 10 bills have been enacted into law, signed by President Trump.

In his work as Vice Chairman of the Financial Services Committee in the previous Congress, French led the new subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology, and Artificial Intelligence. Bills that French authored are in the U.S. Senate for deliberation currently. Crafting a framework for the regulation of digital assets is a goal of the Trump Administration. French’s bill, the Clarity Act, passed the U.S. House with 76 Democratic votes. This regulatory framework will increase jobs and capital investment in the U.S by providing a framework for the use of digital assets by all Americans and particularly Arkansans.

Four years ago, French was named to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by then Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and he was reappointed to the Committee by Speaker Mike Johnson. Serving as the only Republican member on the Committee with a deep background in international economics and finance, French is working to reduce China’s economic coercion around the world and enhance sanctions and penalties for terror, drugs, and illicit finance.  He has been deeply involved in the policy in the Western Hemisphere.

In previous Congresses, French served on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. French served as the Vice Chairman of the Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations Subcommittee and has continued to advocate for religious freedom for all people of all faiths around the world. 

French is the founder and chairman of the Congressional Task Force on American Hostages and Americans Wrongfully Detained Abroad that advocates on behalf of Americans who are wrongfully held abroad and their families. This caucus works to ensure transparency for families and holds the Biden Administration accountable for the policies that have led to Americans becoming bargaining chips by our enemies.  French’s work was critical to the hostage situation in the Middle East after the October 7th invasion of Israel.
