Received this e-mail today from Phil Murphy’s (D. NJ) gubernatorial campaign:
Governor Chris Christie and Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno failed to stand up to President Donald Trump on healthcare, and now New Jerseyans across the state are at risk of losing their insurance.
If they were afraid of crossing the President and leader of their party, they didn't even need to go so far as to talk to Donald Trump to fight for New Jersey families.
New Jersey's own Congressman, Tom MacArthur, is the shameless author of Trumpcare. He removed protections for pre-existing conditions and decimated Medicaid funding. All Christie and Guadagno might have had to do was let MacArthur know how serving Trump and the special interests would harm regular New Jerseyans. Instead, they have stood by as MacArthur and other Washington Republicans continue to attack healthcare.
With Senate Republicans moving forward on their own dangerous bill to rip away healthcare for millions, we're going to keep fighting to save affordable coverage. Add your name to the petition.
A new study on MacArthur's bill shows that New Jersey's uninsured rate would skyrocket to 14 percent, 54,000 jobs would be lost across the state, and no congressional district would be hit harder than the 3rd. In MacArthur's own district, 40,923 people would join the ranks of the uninsured by 2026. Seniors and children suffer while corporations and those at the very top are rewarded with enormous tax breaks.
Unlike Chris Christie and Kim Guadagno, Phil Murphy and this campaign -- your campaign -- are holding Tom MacArthur accountable, calling him out and organizing protests with activists inside and outside his town hall in Willingboro.
Tell Governor Christie and Lt. Governor Guadagno to do what they should have done months ago -- stand up to President Trump and his allies to put the health and economic security of New Jerseyans first.
Thank you,
Brendan
