ASPIRE PAC Slams Republicans’ One Big, Ugly Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Rep. Marilyn Strickland (WA-10), Chair of the Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders Rising & Empowering Political Action Committee (ASPIRE PAC), released a statement following final passage of Trump and congressional Republicans’ One Big, Ugly Bill:

“David Schweikert, David Valadao, Young Kim, Ken Calvert, and other spineless Republicans cowered to Donald Trump by voting to strip 17 million people of their health insurance and take food away from children. Their cruelty is beyond disgraceful and ASPIRE PAC will do everything possible to remind voters of what these Republicans did today.” 

These Republicans voted for a bill will have devastating impacts for their constituents:

• In David Schweikert’s district (AZ-01), 31,400 Arizonans will lose access to their healthcare, and 18,700 households could lose access to food assistance.

• In David Valadao’s district (CA-22), 65,140 Californians will lose access to their healthcare, 60,580 households could lose access to food assistance, and 3,612 energy jobs may be eliminated.

• In Young Kim’s district (CA-40), 31,315 Californians will lose access to their healthcare and 14,993 households could lose access to food assistance.

• In Ken Calvert’s district (CA-41), 39,687 Californians will lose access to their healthcare, 30,709 households could lose access to food assistance, and 271 energy jobs may be eliminated.
