Sykes Snubs Rural Hospitals

September 5, 2025

A new report calls out Democrat Emilia Sykes for fearmongering. Instead of standing up for Ohioans who depend on their local hospitals, Sykes voted against $50 billion in new funding through the Rural Health Transformation Program, a lifeline meant to keep struggling rural hospitals open.

Here’s what Emilia Sykes rejected:

  • $50 billion to keep rural hospitals open.
  • Support for doctors, nurses, and patients in small towns across America.
  • Relief for communities already facing Medicaid cuts and vanishing healthcare access.
     

“Out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes voted to shut the doors on rural hospitals and abandon the families who rely on them. She chose politics over patients, ideology over outcomes, and weakness over leadership and Ohioans won’t forget it.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
