House · CO-4 · Democrat
“This debt will crush our country if we don’t act now, get the reckless spending under control, and re-evaluate our tax base to begin paying down this debt in a meaningful way. I refuse to leave this to my children and grandchildren to solve.”

JoAnna Mendoza
House · AZ-6 · Democrat
“Mendoza’s statement in 2020: “We know that there have been enormous tax breaks and tax cuts for wealthy folks and for corporations, so moving forward there should be no new tax cuts, no new tax credits, or sales tax exemptions.” Mendoza also stated: “Yes, I completely agree that we need to raise new revenue and avoid any cuts to public education, healthcare, and other essential services for our communities… We lose tens of millions of dollars in revenue each year because of exemptions for special interests and corporations.””
