ALERT: CA Dems vote to shut down the government, stop funding for kids’ healthcare

December 21, 2017

Vulnerable California Democrats Ami Bera, Salud Carbajal, and Scott Peters used their final vote of 2017 to shut down the government, stop funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and block $81 billion in disaster aid.

This is the cherry on top of a disastrous year of votes for these Democrats, whose accomplishments include blocking over $2,000 in middle class tax cuts for their constituents and blocking access to water for California communities.

“This latest irresponsible and destructive vote to shut down the government is the exclamation point on a disastrous year for these Democrats. In 2018, they will be held responsible for surrendering their voting cards to Nancy Pelosi and abandoning their constituents.” -NRCC Spokesman Jack Pandol
