Friend,

Often, you’ll hear elected officials say that a budget is a values document. 

People will run their mouths all day, every day, about what matters to them, but their true beliefs shine through where they prioritize or deprioritize funding. 

So, let’s take a look at a few of Republicans’ funding proposals in 2023:

If a budget is a values document, what does this say about our current Republican party? 

Democrats, on the other hand, sing a different tune. 

In 2023, our party brought new proposals to the table to target hunger, homelessness, and the Black maternal health crisis – but with our position in the minority, we can only fight against the harm Republicans are working to cause. We need a majority to pass the legislation that would make a difference.

Last week, Representative Tom Suozzi won his race in NY-3 and got the Democrats one vote closer to winning back our majority. Next is November, when we have the chance to get our majority back and pass legislation to bolster our working families. 

I hope you can chip in today and support my work helping Democrats across New York win their races and take back the House.
