Arizona Republican House Delegation Votes Against the People Again by Giving a Thumbs Down to the American Rescue Plan

Debbie Lesko, Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, and David Schweikert screwed all Arizonans again when all four of them voted against the American Rescue Plan.

In twice giving a thumbs down to the $1.9 trillion measure, these four individuals masquerading as public servants said they do not care about:

• Helping Arizonans get COVID 19 vaccinations.
• Arizona Schools reopening safely.
• Putting food on Arizonan’s tables.
• Arizonans getting unemployment assistance for being out of work for no fault of their own.
• Reducing Arizona’s child poverty.
• Qualifying Arizonans receiving $1400 cash payments.
• Aiding Arizona cities and towns.
• Assisting Arizona small businesses.
• Arizonans having cheaper and more accessible health care.

These are also the same members of the former Party of Lincoln that spread the big lie about the 2020 Presidential Election. Three of them (Lesko, Biggs, and Gosar) voted to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in Arizona but did not question their own.

Are voters in Congressional House Districts Four, Five, Six, and Eight getting their votes worth with Gosar, Biggs, Schweikert, and Lesko?

The 2020 Democratic House Nominees that ran against three of them do not think so.

Delina DiSanto, the 2020 Democratic Nominee against Gosar wrote:

“I am not surprised that Paul Gosar voted against the American Rescue Plan. He is out of touch with his constituents here in AZ04. AZ04 is still one of the lowest in median household incomes in Arizona and all the congressional districts in the Western United States. Poverty is high with 45% of households receiving Food Stamps; with that 25% of households with children on Food Stamps. The pandemic has tremendously hit hard in this rural district. Small businesses have closed or continue to struggle. He is not in office to help his constituents; he is only in office to help large corporations, incite civil war, instills false fear-mongering, associate with white supremacists, and raise campaign funds off this behavior. Gosar does not understand the economy is still weak and job recovery dwindled. He doesn’t want to realize that the American Rescue Plan will boost our economy and vaccines will be distributed to millions more and we will be on track to recovery by summer. I want to put people first. Gosar wants to put white supremacist Super PACs first, like the America First PAC. Who would you rather have in office?”

Joan Greene, the 2018 and 2020 nominee against Biggs issued a statement that read:

“The job of a Congressperson is to represent every American. And, the job title means Representative Andy Biggs should be working to protect and grow America’s economy. While families and businesses suffered over the past year, Andy Biggs has done nothing to help alleviate our pain. Instead of working on solutions, Biggs has spent his time promoting far-right lies. As you know, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan last week, a much-need, comprehensive COVID-19 relief plan. Once again, Biggs voted NO.

The plan includes additional help for our schools to reopen safely and address learning losses, an increased child tax credit that is expected to reduce child poverty by nearly half across the country, and support for our local governments to keep critical services and jobs intact.

The bill also gives Arizonans a chance to not only rebuild but to prosper in the future. It is an important foundation for long-term, sustainable economic growth that I support and have a strong vision for.

We need to focus on environmental protection, infrastructure, jobs, and protecting voting rights, and you deserve to have an adult sitting at the table representing you.

Unlike Representative Biggs, who has voted no to moving our economy forward, I vote YES to make it stronger for every American.

I am ready to roll up my sleeves and work for you.”

Michael Muscato, the 2020 Democratic House Nominee against Lesko, relayed:

“Debbie Lesko doesn’t like her job or the people she represents. It shouldn’t be a surprise that she voted against the American Rescue Plan. We wouldn’t need to be rescued if it wasn’t for the likes of her Gosar and others like them. In fact, America needs to be rescued from Debbie Lesko.”

“When Covid first took a hold of our nation she voted against the Families First Act. She then proceeded to vote against nearly every single Covid relief bill presented before her. Under the guise of what she called “partisanship” and “wasteful spending”. I’ve got news for you folks, the most wasteful spending in Arizona is the more than $500k spent thus far on Debbie Lesko representing Arizonans in Congress. She has done nothing during her time but points fingers and campaign with the now-former president. For $500k we have a report and a renamed post office.”

“All of this while people are dying, families are being evicted, people are losing their jobs, businesses are closing their doors, and children are sitting behind computers. Why? Because Debbie Lesko doesn’t do her job. Because Debbie Lesko cares more about spewing misinformation and propaganda than she does about your life. Her only plan is whatever she needs to do or say to stay in power. Consider me Arizona’s 8th Congressional Districts Rescue Plan. Vote Muscato in 2022.”

It is time that the voters have representatives that are focused on doing the people’s interests and not the plutocrats or the residents of the Trump Zone-Fox Island.

Remember in 2022 that Lesko, Biggs, Gosar, and Schweikert voted against helping you when you go into the voter booth.

Remember Lesko, Biggs, Gosar, and Schweikert did not want you to get affordable health care, $1400 cash payments, safe schools for your children, food for your dining room table, and greater access to the Coronavirus vaccines.

Remember to vote for the candidate that will represent you and your needs.
