Published | Video Starts at 00:32

Unfortunately, I wasn't given the opportunity to vote remotely after giving birth, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from being here to represent my constituents and vote no on this disastrous Republican budget proposal. Republicans and Trump promised to lower costs on day one, and instead, their priorities have been focused on ripping health care away from kids, seniors, moms and others who need it most. And this is not going to save money. It includes people like my mom who work for hourly wages but are still unable to afford health care. (00:32–00:43)
