Early voting has begun in Virginia, and voters everywhere are fired up to hold Republicans accountable for hurting working families
WASHINGTON — As voters head to the polls in Virginia and New Jersey to hold Republicans accountable for cutting Medicaid and raising prices, Congressional Republicans are driving a government shutdown that will only make life harder for working families.
Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee President Heather Williams issued the following statement:
“After cutting Medicaid, raising grocery prices, and eliminating American jobs, Republicans are now shutting down the government, leaving military service members, air traffic controllers, and more public servants without pay. Meanwhile, state Democrats are continuing to deliver for working families as they mitigate the reckless damage DC Republicans have done to our economy and essential services. This November, voters across Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and more are ready to hold Republicans accountable for their disastrous agenda, and the DLCC is proud to stand with them.”
The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the campaign arm of Democratic state legislatures and leads the national strategy for building power and winning new majorities. Over the last three decades, we have strategized cycle over cycle to win majorities and lead the effort to bring national attention and investment to our ballot level, winning nearly a dozen new chamber majorities over the last decade. Our work has ensured that nearly half of Americans are represented by at least one Democratic majority in their statehouse. State legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and have the closest connections to Americans’ day-to-day lives. From protecting fundamental freedoms and voting rights to growing the middle class and advancing opportunity, the DLCC and state legislators are moving the Democratic agenda forward and shaping the future of this country.
