Breaking news, Peter:
House Republicans just passed the largest Medicaid cut in U.S. history.
David Schweikert has proven time and time again that he’d rather throw Arizonans under the bus than stand up to Trump and his party bosses. This time, he couldn’t even be bothered to do his job and show up to vote — but he’s made it crystal clear he supports this cruel bill.
Trump’s budget would kick millions of people from their health insurance and literally take food out of children’s mouths — all in favor of putting more money in the pockets of billionaires.
This is bad, really bad. And while Schweikert has been asleep at the wheel, Marlene has been in the community listening to how this budget would hurt Arizona families.
Will you chip in $10 right now to put Schweikert’s job on notice? The people of AZ-01 are fed up and ready for new, courageous leadership in Washington.
Schweikert has had plenty of chances to fight for Arizona families, but consistently chooses to put party over people. The bill Schweikert is on board with:
- Threatens healthcare coverage for over 127,000 people in AZ-01, including 17,000 seniors over 65.
- Cuts food assistance for 85,000 people right here in AZ-01.
- Inflates the budget deficit by nearly $4 trillion.
Schweikert is an unmitigated coward whose support of this budget is exceptionally hypocritical, especially from a self-proclaimed deficit hawk. For 13 weeks, Schweikert’s constituents protested outside of his office, urging him to fight for Medicaid, but he couldn’t even bother to show up and vote to protect it.
In Congress, Marlene will fight tirelessly to lower costs and always put our working Arizonans first.
If you’re with Marlene and want to see AZ-01 and the House in Democratic hands, please chip in $10 right now to show Schweikert we are ready to fight for our healthcare and against Trump’s tax scam.
