Columbus, Ohio- This holiday season, working families in Ohio are struggling with rising costs of everything from groceries to gifts but Vivek Ramaswamy is wealthier than ever.

Electronics are 34% more expensive, clothing and accessories have jumped up to 20% and toys and games are 17% more expensive compared to last year.
"This holiday season, Ohioans aren't wishing for an out-of-touch billionaire who clearly doesn't understand what working families in Ohio are going through," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "As governor, Vivek Ramaswamy would only work to make billionaires like himself richer."

But Republicans leave Washington without fixing health care crisis they created
Hardworking Americans are begging the Republican-controlled Congress to address rising health care costs and inflation in the new year, a new AP-NORC poll finds.
The latest polling comes as Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson called it quits on extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits and failed to bring up a substantivepiece of legislation that lowers the high cost of living.
In 2024, vulnerable House Republicans campaigned on lowering costs - but failed to take action during the first year of the 119th Congress. In April, after the first 100 days of the Trump administration, the DCCC made clear that we would hold vulnerable House Republicans accountable for failing to make good on their promise.
Even worse for House Republicans, additional polling released this week from PBS/NPR/Marist shows that more Americans say Democrats would do a better job handling the economy and NBC News polling showing a majority of Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans to address rising health care costs.
DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
"Americans were promised lower costs on day one and House Republicans broke that promise. Instead, Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home for recess without fixing the health care crisis they created and delivering on their core promise to lower the high cost of living. The American people are ready to reject the GOP's failed agenda and eager to power House Democrats to the majority next year."

NEW: Kevin Lincoln Bought and Paid for by the GOP

A bombshell report shows that Kevin Lincoln pocketed more than $50,000 directly from the California GOP this year. The Lincoln campaign and party "declined to comment" on the nature of his employment - a silence that speaks volumes.
Central Valley voters deserve to know: is Lincoln running to represent them, or is he bought, paid, for and propped up by GOP insiders?

Central Valley voters deserve to know: is Lincoln running to represent them, or is he bought, paid, for and propped up by GOP insiders?
REMINDER: This is the same failed mayor whose record offersnothing but skyrocketing housing and utility costs, rampant crime, and taxpayer-funded perks for himself. Now, his party's leadership is trying to buy him a promotion.
The Central Valley deserves better than a repeat loser turned party operative.
DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser:
"Republicans are clearly in shambles if they're throwing $50,000 at an unpopular repeat loser. Central Valley voters deserve to know who failed mayor Kevin Lincoln works for - his party bosses or them?"

Legislators Call On Clark County DA to Investigate Lombardo's Potentially Illegal Cover Up For Musk's Boring Company

After Joe Lombardo's administration let Elon Musk's Boring Company get away with major safety violations, State Assemblymembers Cinthia Moore and Venise Karris are calling on the Clark County District Attorney's office to investigate the potential illegal erasure of public records. In an interview with KLAS, Assemblymember Moore called out Lombardo for giving special treatmentto the richest man in the world and "blaming firefighters for getting their skin peeled off."
Within hours of a top Musk executive making a quick call to Lombardo's office, hundreds of thousands of dollars in safety fines disappeared without having to go through the normal OSHA appeals process.
Lombardo's administration tried to cover up this shady backdoor deal with Musk's company, with records of the initial fines and the Governor's office meeting with Boring Company executives being deleted from the OSHA files and refusing to provide an explanation for revoking the citations.
Federal regulators have also opened an investigation into this scandal following Lombardo's failure to respond to "chilling" safety violations including chemical burns, broken bones, and electric shocks.

DCCC calls out vulnerable Rep. Rob Bresnahan ahead of the holidays for unleashing a health care crisis on Northeastern Pennsylvania
The DCCC this week launched a new billboard campaign holding vulnerable Congressman Rob Bresnahan accountable for unleashing a health care crisis on hardworking Pennsylvanians ahead of the holiday season.
Bresnahan cast a key vote for the so-called"Big Beautiful Bill" which included the largest cut to Medicaid in American history to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires. Hospitals, nursing homes, and community-based health clinics are at-risk of shutting down thanks to these cuts, with some already announcing their closure.
And Bresnahan has failed to prevent skyrocketing health care costs after he voted for a cost-spiking Republican health care 'plan' that fails to extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits before they expire on December 31st.
Worse yet, Bresnahan has traded health care related stocks and bonds even as he votes to rip away health care from his own constituents.
See the billboard below:
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin :
"Rob Bresnahan has unleashed a health care crisis on Northeastern Pennsylvania. Thanks to Bresnahan, hardworking Pennsylvania families are facing higher prices and reduced access to care - all while he plays the stock market. The DCCC will hold Bresnahan accountable for acting like the grinch and hurting NEPA."

"Coward's Yellow is the New Red": Maria Elvira Salazar's Hypocrisy Called Out by Florida Voters
*
Maria Elvira Salazar is once again in the hot-seat for flip-flopping at every opportunity she gets.
In a letter to the editor in the Miami Herald, a Coral Gables voter exposed Salazar for attempting to save face by suddenly calling out Trump's immigration crackdown months after she refused to call out Trump for targeting hundreds of thousands of immigrants for deportation.
Salazar'shypocrisy conveniently follows Miami electing a Democratic mayor for the first time in almost three decades.
Floridians have made it clear that they are souring on Salazar's disastrous policies, and she is willing to say anything to make it seem like she cares.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus :
"Rather than actually advocating for the communities she represents, Maria Elvira Salazar will say anything to try and save face while still doing absolutely nothing. Despite numerous attempts to pull the wool over her constituents' eyes, they continue to see through her lies and will hold her accountable next November."
Read the letter for yourself:
Miami Herald: Changing colors
* Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar made headlines recently, declaring President Trump's crackdown on immigrants as "un-American."
* With a Democrat winning the City of Miami mayoral race, Salazar has finally decided a wardrobe change is in order. Coward's yellow is the new red.
* We aren't fooled. Salazar's new color shines brighter than the Miami sun.
