Thank you, @gomez.house.gov, for standing up for families and the economy! Your leadership protecting programs that allow people to go to work, raise kids, and contribute to our communities like Medicaid, Headstart & Childcare, Social Security, nutrition & more is essential. @momsrising.org #MomSky
Rallied with @MomsRising and activists to push back on the GOP budget — tax breaks for billionaires paid for by cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, and programs working families rely on. I know from organizing: when we fight together, we win.
