The Green Party of Nevada strongly condemns the vote of Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto (D) to advance the Continuing Resolution on President Trump’s budget priorities.
This budget will harm hundreds of thousands of Nevadans who depend on Medicaid and other social safety net programs, and by extension, will cause a drag on Nevada’s economy. The Green Party also rejects the argument that
refusing to support the Continuing Resolution will only embolden the White House, as many of Trump’s priorities were already contained within the Continuing Resolution.
Nevada Green Party co-chair Eric LaRue stated, “The case that the Democrats made for earning our votes was to prevent the Trump administration’s policies from causing harm to our citizens. If Senator Cortez-Masto is unable or
unwilling to act in opposition to these policies, Nevada voters will be happy to replace her with someone who will.”
