In response to the House’s passage of the GOP megabill, Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Party, has issued the following statement:

“House Republicans just passed the most dangerous bill in American history. Today, they voted to throw 12 million people off their health care and deprive millions of children and families of the food assistance they desperately need, all so they can give tax breaks to their billionaire friends. 

“This bill makes one thing clear: the Republican Party is not the party of the working class. In fact, they seem determined to destroy working-class families. 

“We deserve leaders who will fight for us — not obey the commands of their wealthiest donors. That’s why this month the Working Families Party will be announcing its backing of challengers to the GOP frauds who betrayed their communities by voting for this bill.”
