Washington, D.C. — Today, Unrig Our Economy is launching ads in 12 congressional districts to hold House Republicans accountable for their votes to pass the Republican Tax Scam – which even some Republicans have admitted will cut Medicaid and raise energy prices while also making devastating cuts to SNAP, all to hand even more tax breaks to billionaires.
Ads will target the following districts:
- Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01)
- Congressman Zach Nunn (IA-03)
- Congressman Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06)
- Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07)
- Congressman Mike Lawler (NY-17)
- Congressman Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07)
- Congressman Rob Bresnahan (PA-08)
- Congressman Scott Perry (PA-10)
- Congressman Derrick Van Orden (WI-03)
- Congressman Tom Barrett (MI-07)
- Congressman John James (MI-10)
- Congressman Gabe Evans (CO-08)
“House Republicans knowingly voted for a bill that rips away people’s health care, raises energy costs, and guts SNAP – all to give even more tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy,” said Unrig Our Economy Campaign Director Leor Tal. “By voting for this tax scam, Republicans in Congress have chosen to sell out working-class Americans to pad billionaires’ pockets. We will continue to hold them accountable for leaving their constituents behind and continuing to rig the economy for the super-rich.”
