Johnson Statement on Trump Administration Cuts to Life-Saving Programs
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Julie Johnson (TX-32) released the following statement on the Trump Administration’s cuts to life-saving programs.
“Trump’s unconstitutional takeover of federal funding will have severe consequences on our communities,” said Johnson. “Millions of Texans have been left in the dark, wondering whether they can access life-saving resources like health care, Head Start programming, child care, and so much more. In our district, critical funding for research, community health clinics, and transportation projects are at risk of being eliminated. The Trump White House has proved that they have no interest in understanding how their decisions can impact my neighbors back home. This is nothing short of cruel and represents their disdain for the American people and what they need to thrive. The House and Senate must act immediately to reverse these cuts and implement safeguards to ensure the Trump Administration cannot act in this irresponsible way in the future.”
Congresswoman Julie Johnson represents Texas’ 32nd Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives, serving on the Homeland Security Committee, Foreign Affairs Committee, and the House Administration Committee. Her district includes parts of Collin, Dallas, and Denton Counties.
