Today, the DCCC released another round of bilingual radio ads in TX-23 highlighting why Texans can’t trust Tony Gonzales to protect their health care and represent them in Congress.
“Children” and “Niños” are running in both English and Spanish and highlight Gonzales’ plan to gut the health care of patients with pre-existing conditions including those with diabetes, asthma, and cancer. Gonzales’ reckless loyalty to Washington Republicans would leave 300,000 Texans in danger of losing their health care and out to dry.
“Tony Gonzales’ backward priorities would hurt Texans and gut protections for those with pre-existing conditions, leaving 300,000 Texans out to dry,” said DCCC Spokesperson Fabiola Rodriguez. “Texan families need a leader who will fight for them in Congress, not Gonzales who wants to serve his party bosses in Washington.”

Mom:
I can’t believe our baby is already a year old! Thank God his illness is under control.
Dad:
Yes! I don’t know what we would have done without our health insurance.
Mom:
That’s why I’m so worried about this election. If Tony Gonzales is elected to Congress, 300,000 Texans could lose protections for their pre-existing conditions.
Dad:
And our Carlitos could be one of them. He and those who suffer from diabetes, asthma, or cancer like your Mom. We could all lose our insurance, or it could end up costing a lot more.
Mom:
And now with coronavirus…I read that Hispanic children are eight times more likely to need to go to the hospital if they contract COVID-19.
Dad:
That’s why we need to elect Gina Ortiz Jones. She’ll protect people with pre-existing conditions, and will fight to lower the cost of insurance and prescription medicine.
Mom:
Our children need Gina Ortiz Jones in Congress.

Mom:
Me parece mentira que nuestro bebé ya tenga un añito. Gracias a Dios su enfermedad está bajo control.
Dad:
Si, no sé qué hubiéremos hecho sin el seguro médico que tenemos.
Mom:
Por eso estoy tan preocupada con estas elecciones. Si Tony Gonzales es elegido al Congreso, 300,000 tejanos podrían perder protecciones para sus condiciones preexistentes.
Dad:
Y nuestro Carlitos podría ser uno de ellos. Él y los que sufren de diabetes, asma o cáncer, como tu mamá. Todos podríamos perder nuestro seguro o podría costar muchísimo más.
Mom:
Y ahora con el coronavirus… Leí que es 8 veces más probable que nuestros niños contagiados terminen en el hospital.
Dad:
Por eso hay que elegir a Gina Ortiz Jones. Ella protegerá a todos con condiciones preexistentes, y luchará por bajar el costo del seguro y medicamentos.
Mom:
Nuestros niños necesitan a Gina Ortiz Jones en el Congreso.
