I voted NO.

The GOP budget threatens Medicaid for 164,149 people in my district. I met with Hennepin Healthcare to discuss the real impact on families.

The statement uses strong language ('disastrous,' 'exploits,' 'steals') which could be seen as inflammatory, potentially causing harm by escalating partisan tensions. However, it aims to protect public welfare, aligning with the principle of doing no harm in terms of policy impact. [-1]
Principle 3:
I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
The statement seeks to promote understanding and empathy by highlighting the impact of the budget on ordinary citizens, though it does so in a confrontational manner. [+1]
Principle 4:
I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
The statement engages in criticism of the GOP budget, which is constructive in the context of political debate, but the language used could be perceived as a personal attack on the opposing party.
