Our area, the Lehigh Valley, is represented by four members in the House of Representatives. Three of them, including Lou Barletta who made his reputation bashing Hispanics, are Republican. The other two Republicans are Fitzpatrick and Costello. Cartwright is the lone Democrat.
Here is how they voted on three bills last week.
On the bill to allow debate on imposing economic sanctions on any country that interfered with a U.S. election in 2015 or later, Cartwright voted yes. The three Republicans voted no, probably to protect Russia.
On the bill to allow “junk insurance” that would limit health care coverage and violate the terms of the ACA, Cartwright voted no. The three Republicans voted yes.
On the bill to add $20 billion to the federal debt through fiscal 2028 by repealing a 2.3% excise tax levied by the ACA on medical device manufacturers, Cartwright voted no. The three Republicans voted yes to repeal the tax.
These are just a fraction of the really bad polices that are moving through the Republican House and the Republican Senate. In the meantime Cartwright’s opponent this November is a far right multi-millionaire
who doesn’t live in the district.
