How Did Your Representative Vote on the Harmful Budget?

Early this morning, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a budget reconciliation bill. This bill includes significant cuts to health care that will result in eligible Arizonans losing their health insurance coverage through AHCCCS and the Affordable Care Act Marketplace. It also jeopardizes assistance with grocery bills for those in need.  

As a consequence of this harmful bill, more children, families, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities will face hunger and lose access to health care.

We want to thank every Arizonan who made their voice heard during this first phase of the budget process. Your advocacy mattered - and our work is not done  

The bill will now move to the U.S. Senate, where there are members who have expressed alarm about the negative impact the House bill would have on the people they serve. Senator Mark Kelly and Senator Ruben Gallego have been clear that they oppose this bill. 

For now, we thank Representative Yassamin Ansari and Representative Greg Stanton for voting against this bill. We share disappointment that Representative Schweikert did not vote on the bill, and that Representatives Biggs, Ciscomani, Crane, Gosar, and Hamadeh supported this bill, which leaves many Arizonans behind.   

Please continue to share how this budget bill impacts you through letters to the editor of your local media, social media, and by keeping others informed. There is more work ahead!
