FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 15, 2024
Phoenix, AZ - According to the latest economic data, inflation since Joe Biden took office is up 20%. Rent prices are up 20.8%, grocery prices are up 21.3% and electricity prices are up 28.5%.
The rise in inflation and costs are a direct result of the Bidenomics agenda that Ruben Gallego has enthusiastically voted for 100% of the time.
Just a few examples include when Gallego voted for the 2021 $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, which even Biden’s own Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted was a factor in rising inflation; and in 2022, Gallego voted for the Inflation “Reduction” Act, which multiple reports have shown to “worsen inflation.” Gallego falsely claimed that the the Inflation “Reduction” Act would lower the cost of prescription drugs for Arizona seniors, however it has actually driven up the cost of Medicare Part D Prescription drug costs by 57%,
The Lake Campaign Released the Following Statement:
“Ruben Gallego has voted for Biden’s disastrous economic agenda 100% of the time, making him directly responsible for the inflationary pain that Arizonans are feeling everyday.
Gallego considers the Inflation Reduction Act to be a signature achievement. It took only months for it to prove to be a burden for American families.
Arizonans don’t want a Senator who has proven to be nothing but a rubber stamp for Joe Biden’s agenda. They want a Senator who will work everyday to put them first and Kari Lake will do just that.”
