The President promised to lower costs for Americans. Instead he’s damaged our economy with illegal tariffs, inhumane immigration practices, and reckless and costly wars.
Families across our region are struggling with the ever-rising cost of living. That’s why Madeleine is fighting to lower costs for families and businesses in Montgomery and Berks counties.
Madeleine has consistently voted to bolster American assembly and manufacturing, invest in our infrastructure, fund education, lower health care costs, cut prescription drug prices, and cap monthly insulin at $35 for Medicare recipients. But this work is far from over.
While Republicans used their control of the House, Senate, and White House to benefit the billionaire class — adding trillions of dollars to our national debt — Madeleine will always prioritize her constituents and their well-being. She opposes massive tax cuts for the wealthy –– especially when they come at the expense of the American people. And she is deeply disturbed by the President’s erratic tariff policies that leave businesses without the certainty they need to plan, invest, and grow. His tariff policy has harmed our relationships with our allies, forcing them to look elsewhere to grow their own economies. In the end, the President’s ever-changing tariff policies increase costs for consumers as they damage our relationships around the world — especially with some of our closest allies, such as Canada.
National Debt: As of this writing, our National Debt stands at $40 trillion dollars. In 2016 — when the US debt was $18 trillion — then candidate Trump warned that $24 trillion was a breaking point.
Under President Trump in his first term and now in his second term, Trump policies supported by a Republican majority, have added $10.9 trillion to our debt. This is dangerously unsustainable for our economy and our children’s futures.
Madeleine continues to object to the administration’s mass, arbitrary firing of federal employees, and its assault on federal agencies like USAID and the Department of Education. These actions are beyond thoughtless and reckless — and have cost our country decades of talent and experience at every agency and level of our government.
As a member of the Litigation and Rapid Response Task Force, Madeleine consistently supports litigation to halt and reverse these illegal actions.
Throughout her time in Congress, Madeleine has fought for workers’ rights by supporting legislation to raise the federal minimum wage, close the gender wage gap, increase funding for job training, and protect worker’s rights to organize and collectively bargain.
