In a new section of his campaign website, Jon Ivy provides a look at some controversial votes from Rep. Ami Bera (D). See www.jonivy.com/ami-bera.
Jon Ivy is running as the Republican progressive candidate to replace Congressman Bera in the 2020 election. Ivy is highlighting votes from Mr. Bera that may show that Bera is moreso in-line with a Trump-supporter than with the Democratic Party platform. Choosing repeatedly to cross party lines to vote with far-right extremists and using xenophobic language to justify some votes, Ami Bera’s record stands in sharp contrast to what one might expect from the Democratic Party’s $3 million per election investment.
Quote from Jon Ivy talking about Ami Bera’s record:
While he is a registered Democrat, Ami Bera’s policies and votes in Congress have been consistently set against mainstream progressive values. He’s voted to refuse entry to war refugees. He’s voted to dismantle the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). He’s voted to rollback Dodd-Frank. He’s spent a great deal of his time raising money and taking meetings from industry lobbyists. He is unresponsive to the needs of his district, and he’s unresponsive to the needs of the United States of America. If we’re talking “compromise,” Ami Bera is one of the most “compromised” members of congress.
