On Election Day, Floridians stood up for health care and fair tax policy. Today, we are recommitting to holding Rep. Buchanan accountable for lining the pockets of wealthy Americans with an unfair tax code at the expense of working people.

We were so proud to see a record number of Floridians across the sixteenth district cast their ballot for a fair tax code and affordable health care. We are committed to holding Rep. Buchanan accountable for his votes against working class Americans. The bottom line is: we won’t stop fighting for a fair economy and affordable health care for all.

“Despite Buchanan’s victory, our message to Suncoast voters connected with them. Many of them realized that Vern Buchanan’s votes on taxes and health care underscored his lack of concern for his constituents,” said Stephen Gaskill, communications director of Floridians for a Fair Shake. “Buchanan’s yacht purchase on the same day he voted himself a $2 million tax break has been the perfect illustration of what’s wrong with the Trump Tax law, and it also highlights the real reason Buchanan wanted to keep his congressional seat — to have more time to shape tax policy to benefit himself.”

Congressional Republicans like Vern Buchanan have voted dozens of times to repeal the ACA, and support a replacement plan that offers no real coverage at all. Stories like Burke’s don’t seem to register with them, as if the pain and suffering of people like us doesn’t matter. We were devastated by Burke’s illness, but his amazing recovery is testament to the effectiveness of the ACA.

Burke is alive and healthy today because of the Affordable Care Act that Vern Buchanan wants to repeal. That’s why I’m a Health Care Voter.
