Kamlager-Dove Statement on Passage of the Republican Budget Proposal

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37) released the following statement following her “no” vote on the Republican budget proposal:  

“The American people are demanding relief from skyrocketing costs. Instead, Donald Trump and Republicans are launching a full-scale assault on the financial security of hard-working families. As if tanking the economy with temper tariffs and inflating costs wasn’t enough, Congressional Republicans just closed their eyes and handed Trump the power to rob everyday people to fund tax breaks for billionaires.

“In my district, which ranks fourth highest in the nation for Medicaid enrollment, over 409,000 people are on the verge of losing their health care; 225,000 individuals stand to lose the nutrition assistance that puts food on their tables; and the futures of 13,411 students who rely on Pell Grants are now in jeopardy.

“While my Republican colleagues abandon their constituents and submit to the grifter-in-chief, I will stand firm–eyes wide open–and fight to protect the programs that keep Angelenos alive.”
