Don Bacon promised to go to Washington to lower costs for everyday families. Instead, he’s supporting Trump’s unpopular economic policies that will have devastating consequences for families and working people. From the cost of living to the quality of roads, clean water, and even the availability of food, Republicans are making life harder for the very people they claim to support.
Don Bacon’s vote to take away funding for the Omaha Airport could hurt Nebraska’s economy, make travel more difficult for Nebraskans, and slow down growth in the area. According to the state, in 2019, Eppley Airfield in Omaha employed more than 51,000 Nebraskans, served more than 2.4 million travelers per year, and contributed more than $4.2 million to Nebraska’s economy. Republicans like Bacon, who have consistently promised to support local businesses and economies, are now taking actions that will make life harder for everyone.
“Don Bacon says he stands for the American Dream, but with every attack on basic necessities, they make life harder for working people and families,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado. “From higher costs for car repairs to unsafe roads, food insecurity, and decaying infrastructure, Republicans are proving that their promises to lower costs are just empty words. When voters get to the ballot box next year, they’re going to remember.”
