John,

I just wrapped up my 2nd town hall of the year, focused on the House Republican Budget Proposal.

This is an awful budget, and let me tell you why. Budgets are an opportunity to share your priorities — and the Republican proposal tells us exactly who they are fighting for.

With this budget proposal, the GOP wants to cut vital programs and services to veterans, seniors, children and our most vulnerable communities to give $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest individuals and corporations. Their budget would add $1.6 trillion to the deficit.

But let me tell you what this specifically means for our district:

* 25,000 people who rely on the Affordable Care Act for healthcare could see insurance premiums skyrocket to $1,730, a more than 60% increase.
*
* 210,000 people who rely on Medicaid, this includes over 91,000 children and 32,000 seniors on a fixed income. Those services will be impacted and potentially defunded.
*
* Republicans would also gut food safety net programs, impacting over 80,000 people. SNAP allows people to put healthy food on the table and Republicans want to strip this essential resource.

It is clear — Republicans are more interested in serving the billionaire class than the hard working Americans that keep this nation running. They do not care how it impacts us, our families, or the American people.

I am doing what I can to fight back against this extreme agenda and hold the line on the issues impacting everyday people, but I cannot do this alone.

The best opportunity to hold them accountable is by flipping the House blue. Will you pitch in right now to help us protect this seat and keep me fighting for families across Connecticut? [[link removed]]
