SALT Cap, Tax Overhaul Plague Tax-Writers in Tight Races

The Cook Political Report currently lists Ways and Means Republicans Peter Roskam (Ill.), Erik Paulsen (Minn.), and Mike Bishop (Mich.) and Finance Committee Democrats Bill Nelson (Fla.) and Claire McCaskill (Mo.) as being in competitive races that candidates of either party could win.
