\"\"Mobile billboards in Binghamton, Utica highlight Tenney\u2019s votes for health care sabotage and TrumpTax<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stops at Fourth of July celebrations and Boilermaker to remind residents of Claudia Tenney\u2019s votes against their best interests<\/em><\/p>\n

Speak Out Central New York announced today that mobile billboards will make stops at two major events in Claudia Tenney\u2019s district this week, reminding Binghamton and Utica residents that Tenney voted to give massive tax breaks to the rich and to take health care away from thousands of her own constituents.<\/p>\n

The billboards both carry the same message, \u201cClaudia Tenney voted to take away affordable health care and give big tax breaks to the rich,\u201d and will stop in Endwell (just outside Binghamton) during Fourth of July festivities\u00a0 Wednesday\u00a0and in Utica for the Boilermaker race\u00a0on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The billboards will remind attendees of both events (which draw tens of thousands of people) that Tenney habitually and consistently votes to serve the Republican Party\u2019s agenda, regardless of its impact on her own constituents. The billboards also come to the region amidst a month-long, six-figure advertising blitz led by Speak Out Central New York, with\u00a0a television ad featuring a mother from Windsor<\/a>\u00a0who shares her story of how Tenney\u2019s votes have endangered her ability to afford health care for her children.<\/p>\n

Last May, Tenney voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would\u2019ve stripped insurance coverage from 23 million Americans and 37,000 people in her district. In December, she then voted to pass the TrumpTax, a $1.5 trillion tax break that gave more than 80 percent of its benefits to the richest one percent of the country. As a result of the TrumpTax, New Yorkers\u2019 taxes will increase by $2.4 billion in 2019, and 2.4 million New Yorkers won\u2019t get a tax cut at all.<\/p>\n

The TrumpTax also repealed the ACA\u2019s individual mandate, which prompted New York insurers to request rate hikes of\u00a0as much as 38.6 percent for 2019<\/a>, with an average increase for individuals of $572. Tenney voted for the TrumpTax, despite a nationwide warning from health care experts \u2013 later confirmed by President Trump\u2019s own former Health and Human Services Secretary \u2013 that the loss of the individual mandate would mean massive spikes for insurance premiums.<\/p>\n
