What They’re Saying: RSC Members Celebrate Official Launch of Trump Accounts

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today marks the official start of Trump Accounts, an initiative designed by congressional Republicans and President Trump to invest in America’s next generation and support their pursuit of the American Dream from day one.  

Created through the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, Trump Accounts provide a $1,000 seed investment from the U.S. Treasury for every American child born between 2025 and 2028, giving them a head start on building wealth and achieving financial stability. 

Here’s what members of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) are saying about the official kickoff of Trump Accounts: 

“Trump Accounts hand every eligible child a head start on the American Dream, starting from day one. This country was built on the idea that where you start should not determine where you end up. Republicans are making sure that idea still means something. We backed that promise with a genuine investment, so every eligible child grows up with a real stake in this country's future,” said RSC Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11). 

“Parents should welcome a new baby with joy instead of financial dread, which is why I'm proud to champion the rollout of Trump Accounts. This policy hands a real, wealth-building asset directly to the next generation of Americans, my own daughter included,” said Rep. Kat Cammack (FL-03). 

“For too many Hoosier families, the American Dream felt out of reach. Not anymore. Every child deserves their shot at it, and President Trump and Republicans are giving the next generation a head start. With Trump Accounts, Hoosier kids will start building wealth before they can even walk,” said Rep. Rudy Yakym (IN-02). 

“Every generation deserves the chance to pursue the American Dream. Trump Accounts invest in our children from day one, giving them a stronger foundation to build, innovate, and succeed. As we celebrate 250 years of American greatness, we’re also investing in the next 250,” said Rep. Matt Van Epps (TN-07).  

“Today, President Trump is delivering something powerful and lasting for American families: a real head start for the next generation. Trump Accounts ensure that every child in this country has a stake in the American Dream from day one. That’s what Republicans on the Republican Study Committee are all about: expanding opportunity, strengthening families and making sure every young American has the tools to build a future of prosperity and freedom,” said RSC Messaging Task Force Chairman Mark Alford (MO-04). 

“There's no better gift we can give our children than setting them up to build wealth, invest in their future, and carry this country forward stronger than they found it. As a grandmother, I think about what kind of head start I want for my own grandsons, and compound growth starting at birth instead of at 22 makes all the difference. Trump Accounts put that head start within reach for every American family, and it's exactly the kind of financially sound, pro-family policy Republicans are proud to deliver,” said Rep. Diana Harshbarger (TN-01). 

“The Trump Accounts, created by the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, are the most transformational investment into America’s future we’ve ever seen. It gets American children started on the trajectory of lifetime savings and I couldn’t be more proud of what Congress has helped do for the future of American children,” said Rep. Michael Baumgartner (WA-05).
