Thank you Rep. Susan Wild, for standing up for your constituents!

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his fellow Republicans are threatening to drive the US to default on our debts if they don’t get their way. Their goal is to slash Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other vital programs.

Right now many working-class Americans are struggling with inflation and rising costs of living. Any cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid would only threaten the livelihoods of millions, and pull the rug out from underneath all of us who have paid into the programs - not to mention the risks of a recession and job losses if Republicans force the government to default on its debt.

Rep. Wild signed the congressional letter from Reps. Boyle, Jayapal, and Kuster calling for a clean vote to avoid a default on our debts and opposing any cuts to Social Security and Medicare and other programs our community relies on.

When our representatives stand up for the people, rather than corporate interests or their own pockets, we prosper. Thank you Rep. Wild for standing up for us! We have your back because you have ours!
