U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor

Everyday Americans already pay too much to see a doctor or visit the hospital.

The Republican healthcare crisis is making things worse.

You deserve better.

Hardworking American families and businesses deserve lower electric bills w/ solar and wind!

Yet, Trump and the Dept of Energy just canceled hundreds of 🇺🇸 clean energy projects and jobs as retribution 🤯

Congressional Republicans and President Trump: We want Americans to have more babies
 
Also Congressional Republicans and President Trump: No affordable health insurance to help you pay for doctor appointments when you’re pregnant, no health care for kids, no child care and no vaccines

Donald Trump expected us to back down.

Democrats continue to stand up to protect healthcare for everyday Americans.

President Trump's destructive policies started day one of his term in office.

Social security recipients and federal workers have been burned time and time again by Trump and his billionaire buddies.

It is cruel.

All Americans should be able to see a doctor.

Health care is a great benefit offered by many companies, but if you are a:

✅ Small business owner
✅ Freelance writer or artist
✅ Early retiree
OR experience a period of time without a job

Republicans in Congress want to take away the main way you can afford health care.

You deserve health care you can afford.

My statement on the Republican Health Care Crisis.

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Jane Goodall. A tireless advocate for conservation, animal welfare, and youth education.
 
Our planet is better because of her work and contributions to science. Her legacy will be felt by people and animals alike for generations to come.

Take it from Philippa: She would be bankrupt without the Affordable Care Act helping her afford her cancer treatment.

How can President Trump and Congressional Republicans want to take that away?

Why do President Trump and Republicans think that 4.1 million Floridians should pay nearly double for their health care next year?

WATCH NOW: House Democrats are live! We’re fighting to protect your health care and lower costs.

🚨 Update from Capitol Hill

Big emphasis on managing the federal government as a shut down looms....

If this is how you're finding out the government could shut down tonight, it is because Republicans in Congress do not want you to know.

They don't want to be further blamed for raising costs, ripping away health care and causing chaos.

President Trump is going to shut down the government and inflict even more pain than he already has on American families by destroying your health care, your savings account and our democracy all to hide his name in the Epstein Files.

🚨🚨 4.1 million Floridians are about to pay more for their health coverage and Republicans in the Congress are no where to be found.
 
They are taking a wrench to your health care and celebrating by taking the week off.

Tomorrow I am hosting a Telephone Town Hall!

Don't forget to RSVP at castor.house.gov/events/ - I hope to see you there!

I am hosting a Telephone Town Hall on Tuesday, September 30th at 5:30 PM!

My office is always here to help with disaster assistance, and I’m grateful for our State and local emergency management partners who work tirelessly before, during and after these storms. 3/🧵

The strength and selfless spirit of neighbors across Tampa Bay and St. Pete have carried us through - people helping people, lifting each other up through the recovery that continues today. 2/🧵⬇️

One year ago, Hurricane Helene devastated neighborhoods across Tampa and St. Petersburg, leaving families, small businesses and communities struggling. 1/🧵⬇️

It’s time to build an economy that works for everyone | Column New federal policies are pulling us in the wrong direction.

This summer, Tampa residents saw a $50 jump in their monthly electric bill due to rising temperatures and other extreme weather.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We can build a thriving and sustainable economy that empowers working people — not high-dollar political donors.

Ever since Trump took office, he has been catering to billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
 
American families deserve to live a good life where they can make ends meet - not have their health care and affordable housing on the chopping block to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
