I will not support legislation that ensures the health care costs of Missouri families will skyrocket.
House Democrats will continue fighting to extend ACA tax credits, reverse Republican cuts, and save Americans’ health care.

The president is either lying or completely out of touch with reality.
Either way, it’s not helpful to American families that are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of everything from groceries to health care.
That's why Democrats are fighting to end the tariffs and extend ACA tax credits.

If Republicans are successful in eliminating ACA tax credits for working-class Americans, Missouri families will see their health care premiums skyrocket.

Yesterday the Trump Admin said they would comply with a court order to fund SNAP, and today the President is reversing course.
Stop the chaos - feed hungry families and seniors.
This is unbelievably cruel.

Imagine being so out of touch you think $350 a month buys a stocked pantry
SNAP keeps the 53,099 households in LA-03, 54% of which have kids, from starving. What’s destroying this country isn’t people using food stamps, it’s people in power mocking them while stripping away these critical benefits.

The Trump administration has the funds and legal authority to fully fund SNAP in November.
By choosing to play political games with these benefits, 16 million American children that rely on SNAP will go hungry.
It’s morally reprehensible.

Congress created the Solar for All Program to expand solar energy output, create good-paying jobs, & lower energy costs for American families.
Earlier this year, the president illegally canceled $7 billion in Solar for All funding, including $156 million awarded to Missouri.
I'm fighting back.

The administration’s decision to furlough nearly 80% of the National Nuclear Security Administration federal workforce, which has never happened before despite multiple government shutdowns, undermines our national security and hurts workers in #MO05.
