Republicans are in support of dangerous cuts to Social Security and Medicaid that will screw over their constituents in order to pay for their billionaire tax cut. Empowered by their allies in Congress like Zach Nunn (IA-03), Donald Trump and his supporters have led an aggressive effort to decimate Social Security’s workforce and infrastructure. These are cuts that target the core stability of this earned benefit American workers rely on.
“Nunn has enabled cuts that will gut Social Security and Medicaid. He’s responsible for this, and while his voters are struggling to afford groceries and health care, they won’t forget Nunn’s betrayal,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado.
Iowans who depend on Social Security, Medicaid, and SNAP will suffer as a result:
- Approximately 153,402 of Nunn’s constituents in Iowa’s 3rd District rely on Social Security.
- Approximately 116,100 (17%) of Nunn’s constituents in Iowa’s 3rd District are covered by Medicaid or CHIP and over 31,000 have used SNAP.
Before Nunn voted to slash Medicaid, he refused to comment. Nunn previously voted for a Republican package that could have taken Medicaid coverage away from nearly two million Americans.
