WATCH: FIRST DCCC WA-08 AD HIGHLIGHTS ROSSI’S SUPPORT OF SLASHING HEALTHCARE FOR WASHINGTON CHILDREN, RAISING TAXES ON SENIORS

Today, in the first DCCC ad in Washington State this cycle, the DCCC announced a new television ad targeting career politician Dino Rossi’s history of spearheading legislation to slash health care for Washington children while raising taxes on seniors’ nursing home care.

The ad, “Remember,” holds Rossi accountable for the threat he poses to health care for Washingtonians of all ages, and his support for the GOP tax plan that gave billions in tax breaks to insurance companies. Click HERE to watch the ad.

“Dino Rossi’s back, and he’s bringing with him the same disastrous health care agenda that hurts the middle-class. In Olympia, Rossi was the mastermind behind a plan to take health care away from tens of thousands of Washington children and even raise taxes on seniors. And in case you think he’s changed, Rossi has already supported the disastrous GOP tax plan that gave billions in tax breaks to health insurance companies while increasing healthcare premiums. Washington’s children and seniors cannot afford Dino Rossi in Congress.” – DCCC Spokesperson Drew Godinich

 

Script:

“Remember this guy? He’s back… and Dino Rossi’s still putting the screws to the middle class. As a legislator, Rossi wrote a budget that would kick forty-six thousand kids off health care… and raised taxes on nursing home care. Now Rossi backs a plan giving billions in tax breaks to insurance companies – while increasing health care premiums for older Americans. Dino Rossi’s just not for us.”
