Jen Kiggans Votes to Rip Away Health Care Access and Take Food Off of Virginians’ Tables

Kiggans’ vote takes away health care coverage and food assistance from working parents, kids, seniors, and people with disabilities in Virginia

Jen Kiggans and House Republicans just passed a far-right budget resolution that will rip away health care coverage and affordable food for millions of American families, all so they can fund massive tax breaks for their billionaire backers and wealthy corporations.

In VA-02 alone, this dangerous vote risks health care coverage for 65,000 people and food assistance for more than 24,000 households.

Despite the loud outcry of Americans across the country warning House Republicans like Kiggans to vote against decimating Medicaid and threatening their livelihoods, Kiggans still voted to pass this destructive budget scam, once again choosing her D.C. party bosses and billionaires over Virginians.

The DCCC will hold Kiggans accountable for her support of this dangerous agenda to rip away health care and food access from Virginia families. 

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“Jen Kiggans just sealed her political fate by inflicting this massive pain on Virginia families, and no amount of her desperate lies will save her from the political fallout of this vote.”
