When Donald Trump and his Republican majorities forced their disastrous Billionaire Tax Giveaways through Congress, Jack Reed fought back. He put up more than twenty amendments on the Senate floor, forcing Senate Republicans to show their true priorities to the American people and fighting for real change for working families. Jack is ready to immediately reverse Trump’s $1 trillion cut to Medicaid and improve our health care system so that all Americans can get the care they need when they need it. Jack is fighting to strengthen and expand the Affordable Care Act (ACA), protect and restore reproductive rights for all Americans, safeguard and boost Medicaid and Medicare from additional Republican cuts, and increase support for mental health programs like the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline that Jack helped create.

Hammering Republicans for their out-of-touch priorities, Jack fought to redirect Trump’s unnecessary $62 billion ICE slush fund and use it instead to create millions of new affordable homes.
