Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick Votes Against Reckless Republican Budget

Washington, D.C. ─ Today, Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) issued the following statement after voting against House Republicans’ reckless budget bill that would unleash pain on South Florida families.

“While House Republicans may have advanced this reckless bill in the dead of night, their catastrophic agenda is clear as day. 

“I voted against their scheme because it would result in almost 14 million Americans losing health insurance, put more than 18 million kids at risk of losing their school meals, and lead to $500 billion in Medicare cuts. In other words, people will get sicker, hungrier, and poorer — all just to give billionaires a massive tax break.  

“I will continue to fight back and do whatever it takes to protect South Florida families and small businesses who stand to suffer if this bill were to be signed into law.”
