On Tax Day, here’s a reminder that DC insider Michael Whatley pushed for the GOP’s toxic budget that gave tax breaks to billionaires while gutting Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians, raising health care premiums, and spiking costs for working families.

Michael Whaltey played an active, direct role in aiding the budget bill’s passage, pressuring North Carolina elected officials to publicly back it. Thanks to Whatley and the toxic bill he helped ram through, working families are facing higher costs while billionaires enjoy a tax giveaway.

“DC insider Michael Whatley has made it clear he will look out for billionaires’ bottom line in the U.S. Senate, not working families,” said Mallory Payne, senior communications advisor for the North Carolina Democratic Party. “As prices skyrocket – from gas to energy bills to groceries – working North Carolinians need a leader who will put them first and bring costs down.”
