This week, I was in Washington D.C. doing everything I could to stand against two incredibly harmful bills the Republican majority passed.

House Republicans passed a blatant voter suppression bill that, like a recent executive order by President Trump, would undermine American citizens’ constitutional right to access the ballot box.

Watch my floor speech where I debated against the so-called “SAVE Act” or read my statement of why I voted no.

Republicans’ Budget Will Increase Costs & Hurt Medicaid

Despite false promises to lower costs, this week the House and Senate Republicans narrowly passed a budget resolution that will increase expenses for everyday Americans who are already struggling with inflation. I voted no because Republicans are locking in higher costs for energy, food, health care and essential services, all while refusing to make the ultra wealthy pay their fair share.

At the same time, Trump’s chaotic tariff war has been upending the economy, driving up prices and hurting American businesses. Instead of focusing on helping those affected by his policies, Republicans are doubling down on tax cuts for billionaires, leaving the rest of the country to deal with the consequences.

Republicans’ budget has $880 billion in cuts to programs overseen by the House Energy and Commerce (E&C) Committee. There’s no other way to slice it, these cuts are directly targeted at Medicaid – which here in California we know as Medi-Cal. As a member of E&C, I will do everything I can to protect the health care program relied on by millions of Americans – including over 172,000 in our district alone.

Read my latest statement on the Republicans’ harmful budget bill.

Sincerely,

Rep. Kevin Mullin
