Priorities USA Action Congratulates Representative-elect Danny O’Connor

Washington, DCPriorities USA Action Chairman Guy Cecil released the following statement congratulating Danny O’Connor on his victory in the special election to represent Ohio’s 12th congressional district:

“Danny O’Connor’s victory tonight in this deep red district is a testament to the toxicity of the Republican agenda of passing massive tax cuts for corporations and the rich and threatening to cut Medicare and Social Security in order to pay for it. Tonight is another reminder that Democrats need to think bigger and contest elections at every level in every corner of the country.

Priorities USA Action was proud to work with House Majority PAC and For Our Future on a digital and field campaign that sounded the alarm about Troy Balderson’s plan to cut Social Security and Medicare to pay for the Republican tax bill. As long as Republicans like Troy Balderson continue to stand up for the interests of the rich and powerful over the interests of families and working Americans, we will continue to go on offense to expand the map around the country with this potent and proven message.”
