With Sinema District Shopping, Latest Paid Effort Highlights Why She’s On The Run

 

WASHINGTON – With radio ads already running in her Phoenix-area district, Arizonans will learn even more about Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema’s longstanding support of and role in crafting ObamaCare from paid robocalls the National Republican Congressional Committee is launching today in Arizona.

In 2010, President Obama hand-picked Sinema to help craft ObamaCare. With ObamaCare now the biggest issue of the 2014 election, Sinema’s role in making it the law of land is coming back to haunt her.

From the start, Congresswoman Sinema has been a driving force behind this law. This is the second paid effort against Sinema by the NRCC this week. Just yesterday, the Committee used Sinema’s own words against her by launching a paid radio ad on the same topic.

“With Kyrsten Sinema district shopping, the NRCC is reminding Arizonans why she doesn’t fit their values: her name is synonymous with ObamaCare,” said NRCC Rapid Response Director Matt Gorman. “There’s no denying that it is the law of the land in large part due to Congresswoman Sinema. She can try to reinvent herself, but she’s a committed supporter of ObamaCare who doesn’t fit her district and doesn’t represent its interests.”

Sinema Voted Against Repealing ObamaCare. (H.R. 45, Roll Call #154, 5/16/2013)

Sinema Was The Only Arizona Lawmaker Selected To Help President Obama Craft ObamaCare. “Rep. Kyrsten Sinema will join state lawmakers from across the United States in the coming months to help President Obama reshape the nation’s health care policy and reform a system that politicians from both parties say is broken.” (Anjanette Riley, “Arizona Rep. Sinema asked to help reform U.S. health care system,” Arizona Capitol Times, June 10, 2009)

In August 2009, Sinema Hosted A Rally To Support President Obama’s Health Care Reform Package. “State Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Phoenix, will host a pro-Obama rally. Sinema, who serves on Obama’s health-reform task force, will be joined by his grass-roots organization, Organizing for America….‘The rally aims to raise awareness about the need for health reform and debunk rumors about the president’s plan, said Sara El-Amine, a state field director for Organizing for America.’” (Ken Alltucker, “White House Backs Off Health Plan,” Gannett News Service, Aug. 17, 2009)

Sinema Attended The Signing Of The Bill. “Assistant House Democratic Leader Kyrsten Sinema will attend President Obama’s bill signing ceremony for landmark health reform Tuesday at the White House.” (Press Release, “Sinema to Attend Landmark Health Reform Bill Signing at White House,” Arizona House Democrats, March 22, 2010)

Sinema: If You Like Your Plan, You Can Keep It. “”President Obama has said time and time again that for people like myself, who have health care plans that we enjoy — if you like what you have, you can keep it,” Sinema said.” (Daniel Scarpinato, “Dems At Capitol To Canvass For US Health-Care Overhaul,” Arizona Daily Star, 7/8/09)
