Congressman Troy Downing, a representative and former enlisted aviator, posted several messages on his social media account in mid-April 2026. His posts highlighted tax relief measures and recognized the service of the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
On April 13, 2026, Downing stated, “According to the IRS, tax refunds are up 24% compared to the four-year Biden average thanks to @HouseGOP’s Working Families Tax Cuts! REMEMBER: Every Democrat voted against this relief, but hardworking Americans will still be keeping more of their hard-earned dollars “.
The following day, April 14, he marked an anniversary for a military branch with the message: “Happy birthday to the @USAFReserve! As a former enlisted aviator and member of @AirNatlGuard, I can attest that these men and women are some of our nation’s greatest servants, always ready to answer the call. Thank you all for your service and dedication “.
Later on April 14, Downing addressed state-specific tax cuts: “The average Montana taxpayer will see a tax cut of more than $3,500 this season thanks to @HouseGOP’s Working Families Tax Cuts! That means more of YOUR money in YOUR pocket.”
Congressman Downing has served as both an enlisted aviator and a member of the Air National Guard prior to his political career. The Working Families Tax Cuts referenced in his statements have been promoted by House Republicans as measures aimed at increasing tax refunds for working families across states such as Montana.
