Begich Votes to Greenlight Trump’s Reckless War That is Raising Costs on Alaska Families

Yesterday, Nick Begich voted in lockstep with Donald Trump and Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson to give the president unchecked power on his reckless war of choice in the Middle East. 

As a result, costs are rising for hardworking American families who are paying more at the gas pump after already facing rising costs on health caregroceries, and utilities. A recent poll from CBS News and YouGov found 64% of Americans DISAPPROVE of Trump’s $25 billion dollar war in the Middle East and 51% of Americans have expressed financial hardship at the gas pump.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Nick Begich has destroyed any sense of credibility he could muster on lowering costs by once again breaking his central campaign promise to voters. Begich has made clear time and time again that he does not work for Alaskans, he works only for D.C. party bosses.”
