Position Tax Policy

“It is already too hard for working families to make ends meet. This tax package is extreme and will make things even harder. I voted no because gutting Medicaid, slashing food assistance, and adding trillions to the national debt will make things more expensive, and wealthy people and corporations don't need a tax cut. These priorities are completely backward and will have a devastating impact on the families in our community we cannot afford.”
