Senator Mark Kelly's Plea Against Budget Cuts Impacting Arizona Families

Published | Video Starts at 00:14

We are debating a budget that gives another round of tax cuts to billionaires and giant corporations on the backs of everyday Americans. And it also adds trillions of dollars to our national debt. That doesn't make any sense to me, and it doesn't make sense to the Arizonans that I've been hearing from in every corner of our state. (00:14–00:27)

CLAIM
