Don Bacon worked overtime this week trying to convince voters that he’s willing to cross the aisle to avert a government shutdown. But when push came to shove, he sided with his party and voted for devastating cuts to law enforcement, education, Social Security and small businesses.
No matter what he tells Nebraskans, the truth is that Bacon voted to:
Defund law enforcement by slashing funding for the FBI, DEA and other cuts that could lead to the elimination of hundreds of state and local law enforcement nationwide.
Cut funding for the Social Security Administration (SSA) that could lead to closing SSA field offices that seniors rely on.
Slash education funding that could lead to the loss of nearly 150,000 teachers and service providers and kick 275,000 kids out of Head Start.
Cut SBA Entrepreneurial Development programs that support small businesses by 30%, potentially cutting support to 400,000 small businesses.
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Don Bacon talked a good game this week, but his vote to gut law enforcement and other critical programs tells us everything we need to know: Bacon will always choose his Republican Party bosses over Nebraskans.”
