Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick Statement on Harmful Budget Bill

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) issued the following statement after voting against Republicans’ budget resolution. 

“This budget proposal is a complete disaster for working families in South Florida and across the entire country. Republicans who claim that the bill doesn’t impact the programs that Americans depend on to survive couldn’t be further from the truth. 

“Not only does it make massive cuts to the Medicaid funding and food assistance that Florida families need, but it also slashes Pell Grants for low-income students looking to go to college while giving massive tax breaks to billionaires.

“Any proposal that inflicts pain on families who can least afford it is a “NO” for me.”
