Oregon Republicans Embrace Kevin McCarthy’s Radical Agenda

Kevin McCarthy has finally unveiled his party’s extreme vision for America – a vision in which women have no reproductive freedom, seniors can’t access their retirement benefits, and working families can’t afford health care.

Alek Skarlatos (OR-04), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05), and Mike Erickson (OR-06) are wholeheartedly on board. After all, they sat shoulder to shoulder with McCarthy just weeks ago. Their allegiance lies with him and his dangerous agenda – not with Oregonians.

So let’s break down their planThey want to:

  • Ban abortion across the nation and in Oregon;

  • Cut Social Security and Medicare;

  • Repeal the Affordable Care Act;

  • Make health care and prescription drugs more expensive;

  • Defund the DOJ and FBI;

  • And undermine democracy by tossing out lawful votes.

DCCC Spokesperson Teddy Lake
“Skarlatos, Chavez-DeRemer, and Erickson have tethered themselves to MAGA extremists like Kevin McCarthy and his plan to ban on abortion and gut Social Security and Medicare. They’re far-right extremists who are far too dangerous for Oregon.”
