“An Absolute Ridiculous Response”: John McGuire Gets Slammed By Constituent for Spiking Health Care Costs

Congressman John McGuire unleashed skyrocketing costs and devastating health care cuts on Virginia families. 

Now his constituents are calling him out for the pain he has inflicted on his own community – and for his radio silence when they reached out for help.

CVILLE RIGHT NOW reports:

“Laura Buller, now 40, works as a dog groomer in Charlottesville while helping to care for her father […] Buller said she reached out to her Congressional representative, 5th District Rep. John McGuire, multiple times before and after he voted against the tax credit extension. She said her two phone calls were taken by staffers and she never heard back from McGuire. After McGuire voted against the extension, Buller she called the office again and sent a letter.

“I received a very formulaic letter back,” Buller said. “The gist was, he was doing his best to support the needs of his constituents, which was an absolute ridiculous response to me. It just does not feel like McGuire specifically has any interest in people like me.”

McGuire’s office did not respond to a request for comment for this article.”

DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“John McGuire got to Washington and immediately got to work screwing over Virginians by voting for higher health care costs and deep cuts to care. It’s shameful but not surprising that McGuire won’t answer to his own constituents – even he knows his record is indefensible.”
