Wasserman Schultz Announces State of the Union Guest to Focus on Cutting Family Costs

Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) put a spotlight on the high healthcare and housing costs her constituents confront, as she introduced Steve Reyes, her State of the Union guest. Yet Republicans refuse to address these rising costs, as mom-and-pop entrepreneurs like Reyes and his wife face skyrocketing healthcare, home insurance, and business costs. Their story is one that millions of Americans share. Listen to the specific price hikes Reyes and his family face, and his full discussion with Wasserman Schultz here.

"We need to hear the president talk about how he's going to work with Democrats to bring grocery, utility and housing costs down," said Wasserman Schultz. "We should be working together. But every day I put battle armor on to take on the Republicans in Congress, who only are fighting to make the rich, richer."

Families in FL-25 and across America struggle to afford groceries, pay insurance premiums, and worry about President Trump's illegal, inflationary trade policies, all while ICE's violence in communities goes unchecked. Working men and women face real, pressing challenges, and House Democrats are working tirelessly to solve the urgent problems they need addressed.
