Dear friend,

This week, House Republicans passed a budget that undermines Washington families and communities. Their plan would cut an estimated $20 billion from Apple Health, which covers over one-in-five Washingtonians. It would also cut funding for nutrition assistance, education, and school meals all to pay for a $4.5 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and well-connected.  

A budget is a statement of values, and I believe we must focus on lowering costs for working families. The House Republican budget plan would raise health care and food costs for Washingtonians and that’s why I voted against it.   

If you use these programs or if you’ve been impacted by the Trump administration’s policies, I want to hear from you. Your story is incredibly helpful in advocating for our communities. Share your story below.
