Hi Washington Democrats,
Ken Martin here, Chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Donald Trump just passed a new budget with his supposed “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Well, I’ve got another name for it: A Big Ugly Betrayal.
Because this budget is nothing short of a war on working people, our environment, and our futures. The Republican Party has, once again, sold out working Americans in favor of tax breaks for their billionaire donors.
This is personal for so many, including for me. I grew up with a single mom who worked tirelessly to keep a roof over our heads. We were in and out of homeless shelters. We relied on food stamps. If it wasn’t for Medicaid, I wouldn’t have had any health care. My family counted on these critical programs during my childhood.
These are the same programs Republicans are now trying to destroy. If my mom and my siblings had to live under this Republican budget, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
This so-called Big Beautiful Bill slashes education, health care, housing, and nutrition programs, all to hand billionaires a massive tax break they don’t need. The top 1% would see an average tax cut of nearly $80,000. Meanwhile, the bottom 30% would lose income. Sixteen million Americans could lose their health care. A nutrition program that helps 42 million families put food on the table? Now on the chopping block.
It’s Robin Hood in reverse—stealing from the poor to give to the rich.
I’ve seen what the government can do when it invests in people, not ultra-wealthy elites. And I refuse to sit back while MAGA Republicans sell out the American Dream to serve the wealthiest among us.
The DNC is investing in grassroots organizing, voter protection, and year-round mobilizing in all 50 states, including right here in Washington. And Washington Democrats are on the front lines of this battle: defending vulnerable seats, flipping red districts, and standing up to Trump’s extremist agenda every single day.
We need to meet this moment with the urgency it deserves, because there’s a lot at stake. Will you support the Washington State Democrats today to help us fight back against this dangerous Republican budget and build a future that works for everyone—not just billionaires?
This budget isn’t just bad policy, it’s a declaration of who matters in this country.
Let’s make sure everyone counts,
Ken Martin
