The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has launched the first phase of a sweeping nationwide paid effort – “Battleground: Middle Class” – to communicate with voters in California’s 52nd district that Carl DeMaio’s new Republican budget is selling out the middle class in favor of special interests and the ultra-wealthy.
The Battleground: Middle Class project will reach voters through paid advertising, efforts to connect them to their representatives and field efforts in their neighborhoods and at their homes.
Carl DeMaio’s House Republicans’ new budget was unveiled Tuesday, and highlights include: raising taxes on middle class families, ending the Medicare guarantee for seniors and turning Medicare into a voucher program, and costing our economy 1.1 million jobs next year alone – all while heaping tax breaks on corporations that ship jobs overseas.
“Carl DeMaio’s new Republican budget is the clearest illustration yet that they are not on the side of California’s middle class families – Carl DeMaio’s Republican budget rewards the special interests and the wealthy who need help the least, and does it on the backs of the middle class,” said Tyrone Gayle of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “The people of California cannot afford Carl DeMaio’s reckless budget that costs jobs, threatens middle class families’ financial security, raises their taxes, and ends the Medicare guarantee for California seniors, while giving more handouts to the corporations and special interests that are shipping our jobs overseas.”
