John,

House Republicans just rammed through their so‑called “Big, Beautiful Bill” and let’s be clear: This is one of the most dangerous attacks on working families we’ve seen yet.

Here are the facts about what this disastrous budget will do:

• Cut Medicaid for over 100,000 people across the district and over 600,000 folks across North Carolina, many of whom rely on the program to access prescription medication, visits to the doctor and urgent care, and even life saving medical care.


• Cut SNAP benefits for 375,000 North Carolinians and their families - leading to higher food insecurity across the state. An average family would be losing $234/month in food assistance.


• Cut Pell Grant funding and increase student loan debt for over 97,000 North Carolina students and families seeking a higher education.


• Add $3 TRILLION to the national deficit — while handing $1 TRILLION dollars in tax breaks and subsidies to the ultra-wealthy.

Plain and simple, John: You can’t claim to support hardworking Americans and vote for this bill. It’s cruel, it’s reckless, and it’s exactly what happens when Donald Trump and Republicans hold the gavel in both chambers.

If we want to stop this mess and protect American families, we have to flip the House in 2026. That work has already started, and we need your help to take back the majority.

Will you pitch in $10 or whatever you can today to help my Democratic colleagues and I take back the House and put a stop to Republicans' extreme agenda that betrays the American people?

Thank you,

Valerie Foushee
