The Real Skinny on Kiley’s “Town Hall”

Milk Carton Kiley.jpg

On Monday March 17, Kiley held a tele-town hall. Some of you were able to join the call that evening. Some of you were locked out, even though you called in early. Then some of you rallied at his office the next day.

Let's set the record straight.

 

Kiley made countless false statements/claims about the tax cuts for billionaires and corporations, cuts to veterans' services, and gutting the federal workforce that will negatively impact this district.

 

Kiley: Continuing the 2017 tax cuts is necessary for working families.

Fact: The wealthiest will disproportionately benefit from the extended tax cuts.

What's Needed: A new tax bill that ends the tax cuts for billionaires and keeps the tax cuts for middle and lower income families.

Kiley: "Tax cuts created jobs and wealth in this country"

Fact: Corporations bought back stock and did not invest in jobs. It was Biden's CHIPS and Science Act that incentivized bringing jobs back and increased manufacturing in the U.S.

 

Kiley: The Fiscal Responsibility Act increases funding for Veterans' services.

Fact: The Continuing Resolution that Kiley voted for reduces funding for veterans. Thousands of VA jobs have been slashed by DOGE.

 

In honor of St Pat's Day, Kiley did quite the jig refusing to say what he would do to protect Congress' constitutional authority, or how the budget could be achieved without cutting Social Security, Medicaid and critical nutrition programs.

 

Kiley denied climate change is increasing our fire risk, blamed CA for the Fed's poor management of national forest lands, and

took credit for road repair funding even though it was because of Biden's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. He blamed CA every chance he got and minimized damage being done by the Trump administration.

 

Finally, because it was not in-person, speakers could not follow up to challenge Kiley's statements; all of us were prevented from expressing support or opposition to his or the speakers' statements; and those with a hearing impairment were disadvantaged.

 

WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRESS FOR AN IN-PERSON TOWN HALL.

Kevin Kiley

When he’s not busy hiding from his constituents, it’s hard to know where Kiley stands on issues, other than himself. Here’s a summary of Kiley’s recent ratings:

  • Abortion - 100% by multiple “pro-life” organizations
  • Campaign Finance/Elections - 0% by End Citizens United

  • Defense/Foreign Affairs - 0% by Peace Action

  • Environment/Oil - 0% by National Parks Conservation Association, 100% by Independent Petroleum Association of America

  • Family- 91% by Eagle Forum (#1 accomplishment - blocking the ERA)

  • Guns - 92% by NRA, 77% by Gun Owners of America

  • Health/Reproduction - 7% by Planned Parenthood

  • Unemployed/Low Income - 3% by RESULTS (working to end poverty)

~Gutless, entitled Kiley keeps vacillating on providing disaster relief to the victims of the L.A. fires. Not only was he not clear about his support for the victims, he was hiding, with other Federal Republicans, at Mar a Lago while California was burning. When he’s shown a shred of decency supporting the fire victims, he couldn't help but use it as a platform to rail against California fire & water management, and our government in general
