Washington, D.C. — Unrig Our Economy is launching a new radio ad in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District calling out Congressman Don Bacon (NE-02) for voting for the largest cut to Medicaid in history. By voting for the Republican Tax Scam, Congressman Bacon is threatening to rip away Medicaid from millions of Americans and up to 56,000 Nebraskans – all so millionaires and billionaires can get another massive tax break.
“This ad features an Omaha, NE resident, Sonita, who urges Congressman Don Bacon to put the needs of working- and middle-class families above the desires of the ultra-wealthy,” said Unrig Our Economy spokesperson Kobie Christian. “Sonita sees the positive impact of Medicaid on her community every day. Her story highlights how harmful the Republican Tax Scam would be to everyday Nebraskans who are already struggling with high costs. Thousands could lose their health care coverage because Congressman Bacon wants to help make the ultra-wealthy even wealthier.”
This ad will run on radio in Nebraska’s second congressional district.

Ad Transcript:
My name is Sonita.
Four years ago, I actually founded a nonprofit early learning center called Brighten Our Future.
And our mission is to provide affordable, high-quality early childhood education and care regardless of economic or social status. So we work really hard to help families.
And I see what people struggle with every day. I’m also working with families on Medicaid.
Congressman Don Bacon voted for the biggest cut to Medicaid in history to give tax breaks to billionaires.
Choosing to give billionaires tax breaks over giving your constituents’ health care should never even be a thought process or conversation that we’re having to have.
Thousands of people are going to lose their health care.
And these are already people that are struggling with paying for childcare, paying for health care, paying for everything.
Don Bacon is walking around North Omaha parades with the same people that he’s leaving behind.
Call Congressman Don Bacon at 402-938-0300 and tell him it’s not okay to take our health care away to fund tax breaks for billionaires.
