| As Californians wake up to the first day of the Republican shutdown, Ken Calvert and House Republicans can’t be bothered to even come to work.
Millions of Americans are poised to get slapped with massive increases on their health care bills in the next few months, and poll after poll shows that voters want Congress to restore affordable health care and will hold Republicans responsible for their failed agenda.
But instead of doing their job, Calvert and Republicans have chosen to not even show up to work this week, cancelling all votes, shutting the government down, and threatening Americans’ livelihoods in the process.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
“Ken Calvert helped House Republicans barrel the nation towards a shutdown because he decided that averting skyrocketing health care costs for millions of Americans wasn’t worth his time. Make no mistake, Calvert owns this shutdown, and he owns the harm and higher costs facing working Californians.” |
