Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (TX-16) released the following statement after Republicans passed their budget bill in the House:  

“It is devastating that in the wealthiest country in the world, Republicans have chosen to target the most vulnerable Americans by cutting the programs that help them — all so that the wealthiest in our nation can get massive tax cuts.

“Communities across the country will suffer. Thousands of El Pasoans will have less money in their pockets and less access to health care and nutrition programs. 

“Instead of helping hardworking Americans, this legislation - the centerpiece of the Trump domestic agenda - will make our country poorer, sicker and hungrier.”
