DGA Statement on Rep. Byron Donalds Voting to Slash Medicaid and Food Assistance in Florida

In response to Rep. Byron Donalds voting to pass a toxic budget bill that makes even deeper cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in order to give tax handouts to the ultra-wealthy, DGA spokesperson Kevin Donohoe released the following statement:

“Bryon Donalds made clear today that he will gladly threaten health care and make it harder for working families to put food on the table to give tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy. His vote to pass a disastrous budget bill puts health care for nearly 2 million people at risk and puts food assistance for nearly 3 million Floridians on the chopping block, all while risking hospital closures. At every turn, Donalds supported this extreme agenda to jack up costs and explode the deficit, and he won’t be able to escape his toxic record at the ballot box next November.”
