PRESS RELEASE: Devastating and Wrong for Arizona; House Democrats React to Big Ugly Bill

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE    

July 3, 2025

PHOENIX – Arizona House Democratic Leader Oscar De Los Santos released the following statement regarding the passage of Trump's Big Ugly Bill today in Congress, which will have devasting impacts in Arizona.

"We are outraged but not surprised that Republicans in Congress chose Trump and their billionaire donors over their own communities.

The Big Ugly Bill will cripple and close our rural hospitals, healthcare costs will skyrocket for everyone, and it endangers our developmentally disabled communities that rely on AHCCCS. We will see struggling Arizona families go without food benefits and the direct attack on clean energy will hurt our job market. All to give billionaires more tax breaks and increase our national debt.

This is devastating and wrong for Arizona and for America. Republicans at every level of government own this and should be ashamed."
