Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland released the following statement after voting against the One Big Ugly Bill:
“President Trump, Elon Musk, and House Republicans have been lying to the American people from day one. We are seeing these lies play out as children, seniors, families, and small businesses pay the price.
This Republican budget scam is a direct threat to Medicaid. It will strip everyday Americans of their healthcare, snatch food from the mouths of hungry children, and kick our elders out of nursing homes.
President Trump, Elon Musk, and House Republicans keep claiming to lower costs. Instead, they are lying and stealing from the American people.”
Congresswoman Marilyn Strickland (WA-10) serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. She is Whip of the New Democrat Coalition, Secretary of the Congressional Black Caucus, and is one of the first Korean-American women elected to Congress.
