| Rob Bresnahan promised for months that he would not gut Medicaid, only to turn around and vote for the largest cuts to Medicaid in history in order to fund more tax cuts for billionaires. Recent local reporting might explain why.
The Keystone reported that since the start of 2025, “Bresnahan has received campaign contributions from 20 billionaires, who have a collective net worth of $194 billion.” Bresnahan is voting to screw over working families in Washington while he plays the stock market and gives more tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy.
In case you missed it…
- Republican US Rep. Rob Bresnahan promised constituents he wouldn’t trade stocks or cut Medicaid. Then he got donations from 20 billionaires to do just that.
- Campaign finance reports show that in 2025, Bresnahan has received campaign contributions from 20 billionaires, who have a collective net worth of $194 billion.
- After taking office in January, Bresnahan has become one of Congress’ most prolific stock traders despite campaigning for a ban on Congressional Stock Trading during the 2024 election.
- The New York Times reported […] that Bresnahan sold between $100,000 and $250,000 in bonds from the Allegheny County Hospital Development Authority for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center after it was announced that 10 rural hospitals were at risk of closing. This happened a month before Bresnahan voted for the first version of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
- Because of Trump’s budget cuts, over 310,000 Pennsylvanians are estimated to lose their health care coverage because of the $1 trillion cut to Medicaid, and 140,000 residents estimated to lose food assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
- Out of all of Pennsylvania’s congressional Republicans up for reelection in the 2026 midterm elections, Bresnahan’s district will be hit the hardest by Trump’s budget cuts. Over 21,000 of his constituents will lose their health care coverage while 11,500 will lose their SNAP benefits.
