DCCC Statement on Jen Kiggans Campaigning With Her D.C. Party Boss Mike Johnson As Costs Skyrocket

“Jen Kiggans continues to show her true colors. While Virginians pay more for gas, groceries, and health insurance because of her votes in Washington, Kiggans pals around with her D.C. party boss Mike Johnson and rakes in campaign cash from special interest donors. Kiggans doesn’t have an independent bone in her body – instead, she has voted 100% of the time with Donald Trump and Speaker Johnson as they unleash devastating health care cuts, send Virginia servicemembers to fight another reckless war overseas, and allow corruption to run rampant in Washington. Kiggans’ unwavering loyalty to Trump and her donors over the people of Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads will define her time in Congress and be a major reason why she loses in November.” 

BACKGROUND:

• Kiggans, Trump, and Johnson have unleashed higher health care costs. Kiggans voted to make health insurance premiums skyrocket for tens of thousands of Virginians.
• Kiggans, Trump, and Johnson have unleashed devastating health care cuts. Kiggans lied when she promised to protect Virginians’ health care, but then “folded” and voted for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history.
• Kiggans, Trump, and Johnson back a reckless and cost-spiking war of choice in Iran. Kiggans said that she “couldn’t be a stauncher supporter” of the war in Iran, even as gas prices skyrocketed across Virginia and American servicemembers have died.
