LISTEN: DCCC Launches New Spanish Radio Ad Featuring A Former Curbelo Voter Who’s Now Voting For Debbie Mucarsel-Powell

“… I trusted his word. But I realized he says one thing and does another.”

Today, the DCCC announced a Spanish-language radio airing in Miami this week, showing voters are turning away from Congressman Carlos Curbelo because he says one thing in South Florida, but does another when he’s in Washington. The ad features Krystian, a voter who supported Curbelo last election, but after having learned that Curbelo votes with Trump 85% of the time and voted for the trillion-dollar tax cut to the wealthy and major corporations that threatens Medicare and Social Security funding, he’s now supporting Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. He urges other Miami voters to join him in voting for Debbie because she’s fighting for working families.

“Carlos Curbelo votes with Trump 85% of the time and he voted with his party to increase Floridians’ health care costs, demonstrating that he is not the independent Congressman he claims to be,” said Javier Gamboa of the DCCC. “Congressman Carlos Curbelo has betrayed his community and will continue to vote in lockstep with Washington Republicans and Trump. Make no mistake: access to affordable health care, Social Security and Medicare will be always be at risk as long as he’s in Congress.

Script:

The voters of South Florida are sick of politicians who don’t respond to their needs. My name is Krystian.  I voted for Carlos Curbelo because I trusted his word. But I realized he says one thing and does another. Curbelo voted with Trump almost 85% of the time. He voted to give a trillion-dollar tax cut to the wealthy and big corporations… This puts at risk the Medicare and Social Security funding that we depend on for our future. This time, I’m voting for someone who will fight for working families: Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. Ever since Debbie arrived here as a child, this country has opened a lot of doors for her. In Congress, she will strive to do the same for our community. This November 6th, let’s vote for Debbie Murcarsel-Powell.
