Oregon Republicans Receive Their Marching Orders from Kevin McCarthy

Washington Post: Republicans will “force spending cuts — which could include cuts to Medicare and Social Security”

Today, Kevin McCarthy unveiled the core plank of the Republican party’s economic agenda: major cuts to Medicare and Social Security. This news comes as McCarthy personally pours thousands of dollars into the races for Oregon’s fourthfifth, and sixth congressional districts – because he needs faithful supporters like Alek Skarlatos (OR-04), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05), and Mike Erickson (OR-06) to get the job done.

DCCC Spokesperson Teddy Lake
“Kevin McCarthy wants to cut Social Security and Medicare – and he needs Alek Skarlatos, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, and Mike Erickson in Congress to make it happen. Oregonians who value their hard-earned benefits must reject them.”
