New Democrat Coalition Leadership issued a statement following the passage of the Republican reconciliation bill on the House floor.

“House Republicans just passed their irresponsible, dangerous, and morally bankrupt tax scam bill. In doing so, they have found a new low—never before in recent history has a group of lawmakers so deliberately and knowingly worked to inflict so much extreme devastation and financial burden on working people in America.

“For weeks, New Dems and House Democrats have raised the alarm on the cruelty of this bill. We’ve explained how sweeping cuts to federal programs would take healthcare away from 14 million people, take food assistance away from tens of millions of families with children, and raise costs across the board for the poorest 10% of households in the country. House Republicans willfully ignored these facts and callously forced through their cuts to finance trillions of dollars in tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. They are lining the pockets of their billionaire backers and burdening our children and grandchildren with another $5,000,000,000,000 of federal debt...

New Democrat Coalition Chair Brad Schneider (IL-10) issued a statement following the news that Congressman Gerry Connolly (VA-11) passed away this morning.

“I speak personally and on behalf of the entire New Dem community in expressing our profound sadness at the passing of our dear friend and colleague Gerry Connolly.

“Like all my colleagues, I am better for having known Gerry, who nobly dedicated nearly 40 years of his life to serving the people of Northern Virginia. A diligent legislator and ardent defender of our democracy, Gerry worked as hard as anyone to advance real solutions in Congress, and never rested in his effort to protect the rule of law and the freedoms guaranteed to the American people.

“As the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, and a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Gerry always spoke with a strong voice and great clarity. Among his many achievements, Gerry helped found the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition, was acting President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, and was a champion for government modernization and for protecting election integrity.

New Democrat Coalition Chair Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10) issued a statement following the criminal charge of Congresswoman LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) related to the incident at the Newark, NJ ICE detention facility:

“The criminal charge of Congresswoman McIver is yet another example of the Trump Administration’s continued assault on the rights and freedoms guaranteed to the American people and to Members of Congress who have the duty of oversight.

“Congresswoman McIver did nothing wrong – and certainly nothing illegal – throughout the ordeal on May 9th, yet now finds herself the next target of this Administration’s lawless campaign of persecution. Amidst the Administration’s efforts to weaponize the justice system against its political opponents, defy Supreme Court orders, and deny due process wherever it sees fit, it has never been more important for Congress to speak out and stand up against these injustices on behalf of the American people.

“New Dems will not back down, and we refuse to be silenced. We will continue to advocate for Congresswoman McIver, and will not rest until the precious rights and freedoms of every American are protected.”
