Published on: [Insert Date]
A Special Invitation
In an exciting development, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has extended a special invitation to pro-life advocate Pastor Damon Magee, who leads Kings Temple UPC in Shreveport, Louisiana. Magee will attend President Donald Trump’s upcoming State of the Union address, underscoring the administration’s commitment to pro-family policies.
Honoring Family Values
“I am honored to welcome Damon Magee to the U.S. Capitol as my guest for the president’s State of the Union address,” Johnson stated. The speaker emphasized Magee’s dedication as both a family man and a community leader. Along with his wife, Tammy, Magee has embraced parenthood in various forms, including biological, adoptive, and foster parenting.
Advocates for Pro-Life and Adoption Initiatives
The Magees are recognized as influential advocates for pro-life and adoption efforts within Louisiana. Their ongoing commitment to foster care and adoption has made a significant impact on families in North Louisiana, aligning withJohnson’s pro-family agenda.
Benefiting Families Nationwide
Johnson pointed out that families like the Magees exemplify the millions who will benefit from Congress’s “historic pro-family tax policies.” These initiatives, according to Johnson, are designed to strengthen and support families across the nation.
Historic Tax Policies
In 2025, Republicans introduced the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which expanded the child tax credit from $2,000 to $2,200. This increase aims to provide more financial support to families, reflecting the commitment to fostering child welfare.
Enhanced Adoption Tax Credit
The same legislation also raised the adoption tax credit to an unprecedented $17,280 per child, allowing for refunds of up to $5,000, further incentivizing adoptive families. These financial measures are essential in encouraging adoption and supporting families willing to open their hearts and homes to children in need.
Additional Financial Initiatives for Children
Beyond tax credits, the legislation facilitates other financial initiatives aimed at children’s welfare, such as expanding the use of 529 education savings accounts. This initiative allows families to save efficiently for educational expenses. Additionally, “Trump Accounts” were introduced, offering new tax-advantaged investment avenues for children.
