How Would Steinmann Vote?

IF Jessica Steinmann were elected, how would she vote?

Our best predictor is to ask how Morgan Luttrell HAS voted. Like Laura Jones, Steinmann seeks to replace him as District 8's Representative to Congress.

Let's take the "One Big Beautiful Bill", for example. Luttrell voted FOR it.

Now remember: Luttrell is a veteran; he never misses a chance to tell us about his veteran-friendly political agenda.

OK! So did the "OBBB" help veterans?

When I asked Mr. Google, here's the answer I got:...

The "Big Beautiful Bill"—a major budget and tax reconciliation legislation—hurt veterans by slashing funding for vital safety-net programs and essential Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) resources. [1, 2, 3]

Key ways the legislation negatively impacted veterans include:

• Medicaid Cuts and Coverage Losses: The bill reduced Medicaid funding, which threatened healthcare access for an estimated 1.6 million veterans and military families who rely on it for supplemental coverage or specialized care not covered by TRICARE. [1, 2, 3]

  
  

• SNAP and Food Security Reductions: By tightening eligibility and reinstating stringent work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the bill restricted a vital lifeline for thousands of transitioning and low-income veterans. [1, 2]
  

• VA Resource and Healthcare Strains: Critics and veteran service organizations raised concerns that clawing back or underfunding the VA budget would lead to longer wait times for medical care and worsen the backlog of veterans' claims and appeals. [1, 2]
  

• Consumer Protection Cutbacks: The bill significantly reduced the budget of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), including its Office of Servicemember Affairs, weakening financial fraud and predatory lending protections for military families. [1]
  

• Child Tax Credit Limits: An estimated 680,000 children of working veterans were excluded from expanded Child Tax Credits provided in the legislation. [1]

So, in a nutshell: Thanks for nothing, Morgan! And... go away, Jessica.
