PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wis. – Tonight, Opportunity Wisconsin will host a town hall event in Prairie du Chien to raise awareness of the Republican Tax Law and its devastating cuts to healthcare, SNAP, and more. Congressman Mark Pocan will headline the town hall in Congressman Van Orden’s district.
Van Orden voted for the Republican Tax Law, which will leave more than 15 million Americans without health care, and make massive cuts to SNAP, to pay for new tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. Van Orden has refused to hold any in-person town hall meetings since taking office and owes his constituents answers about why they voted for these cuts that will hurt working families, seniors, and kids.
“Congressmen Van Orden voted for a bill that will rip health care away from more than 15 million Americans and force Wisconsinites to go hungry by gutting SNAP to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. We hope he will take this opportunity to explain their vote to constituents and hear directly from them about how these cuts will make it tougher for them to succeed,” said Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh.
The town hall will be tonight, Thursday, July 31st, and attendees can RSVP here.
