My Congressman was appointed Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee...
Allow me to show you what 10 years with @repjasonsmith has done to us.
First, Smith's constituents live under the worst conditions of poverty in the state of Missouri 👇
#WeDeserveBetter
In Smith's district, the second largest farming district in the state, we suffer from extreme food insecurity... and @RepJasonSmith refers to himself as a farmer 🫤
Smith also voted against lower costs of food and fuel.
#WeDeserveBetter
We have very few food banks in our very large, very food-insecure, farming district.
Even though 1 in 5 kids in the 8th district faces food insecurity.
I've never heard @RepJasonSmith even mention it.
Think this guy should be in charge of our country's money?
#WeDeserveBetter
This is the district of @RepJasonSmith, who is now Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee...
Child poverty rates in his district seem almost criminal.
He's been our Congressman for 10 years, and I haven't heard him mention this once.
#WeDeserveBetter
Those children living in poverty are also making children.
Our district has the highest teen birth rates in the state, & Smith voted against protecting birth control access.
Seeing a pattern?
Living in @RepJasonSmith district is a risk factor for poor outcomes
#WeDeserveBetter
We've also seen more hospitals close in our rural district since @RepJasonSmith took his seat in 2013, more than any other congressional district in Missouri.
And look at how many people in our district need healthcare access due to disability, asthma...
#WeDeserveBetter
I'll end with this,
Evidence that @RepJasonSmith couldn't care any less about the problems facing the district he's supposed to represent.
Highest rates of poverty in the state, making it hard to purchase insulin, but Jason voted against capping the price.
#WeDeserveBetter
Please RT and spread the word.
We can hold this man accountable for how his lack of representation harms real people.
And if you can, please contribute $8 to help me #RetireJasonSmith in 2024 🙏
Our people deserve better.
