We're holding Rep. Michael Baumgartner accountable for voting against Eastern Washington.

Why This Matters

Baumgartner was elected to represent the people of Eastern Washington—not to rubber-stamp billionaires’ tax breaks at the expense of working families, children, veterans, and seniors.

He voted in favor of Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”, a federal budget proposal that:

• Slashes Medicaid funding (called Apple Health in WA)

• Guts SNAP benefits

• Undermines support for veterans

• Gives huge tax breaks to the wealthy

Help Us Fund the Billboard

We need your help to make this message visible across Eastern Washington.

Goal: Raise enough funds to install a billboard in downtown Spokane demanding accountability from Rep. Baumgartner.

What’s at Stake

Medicaid / Apple Health

In Eastern Washington:

• 87,000+ children (54% in the district) rely on Apple Health for doctor visits, dental care, vaccines, and more.

• Apple Health supports school meals and preventive care.

• 72% of rural health clinics in our district depend on Medicaid funding. These clinics are often the only care option for entire communities.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)

• Over 900,000 Washingtonians could lose or see reduced benefits.

• The hardest hit? Children, seniors, and disabled individuals, especially in Eastern WA.

• The bill adds harsher work requirements, punishing those who already struggle.

Veterans’ Benefits

Veterans and advocates are sounding alarms over:

• VA staffing cuts, threatening healthcare access and claims processing.

• Federal retirement changes that push skilled staff out of the system.

• SNAP cuts that directly affect food-insecure veterans.

• Deregulation of for-profit colleges, endangering GI Bill protections.

What Happens Next?

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is now in the Senate, where lawmakers are revising it. GOP leadership wants to send it back to the House before July 4—and that means Rep. Baumgartner could vote on it again.

Let’s send a clear message: Will Baumgartner vote for the people of Eastern Washington—or the billionaires?
