3 House Dems voted to criminalise trans healthcare for minors: Henry Cuellar & Vincente Gonzalez of TX, Don Davis of NC

If they had voted No, it wouldn't have passed.

House passes Marjorie Taylor Greene’s anti-trans bill

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5653959-marjorie-taylor-greene-anti-trans-bill/

The House passed a bill Wednesday sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) that would criminalize gender-affirming procedures and medical care for minors.

Greene had secured a deal with leadership to bring her bill to the floor in exchange for her support of a rule advancing the National Defense Authorization Act last week.

It passed 216-211. Three Democrats — Reps. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Don Davis (D-N.C.) and Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas) — voted with most Republicans in favor and four Republicans — Reps. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), Gabe Evans (R-Colo.) and Mike Kennedy (R-Utah) — voted with most Democrats against it.

“Children are NOT experiments. No more drugs. No more surgeries. No more permanent harm. We need to let kids grow up without manipulation from adults to make life altering decisions! Congress must protect America’s children!!!” Greene wrote on social platform X ahead of the vote.

3. Gluesenkamp Perez Democratic Washington Yea

I sent her an email telling that her votes decided the way I would vote in the next primary.

She's already voted for other MAGA bills backing Trump.

She has become just another opportunist without principals.

4. She was also one of the only House Dems (6 of them) who caved in on the shutdown

Jared Golden of Maine
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington
Adam Gray of California
Don Davis of North Carolina
Henry Cuellar of Texas
Tom Suozzi of New York

Switch out Adam Gray and replace him with Josh Gottheimer from NJ and you have my list of the 6 worst Democrats in the House.

All 6 are Problem Solvers Caucus members, with Gottheimer being the Dem co-Chair for years, and Suozzi now the new Dem co-Chair.

4 (Gottheimer, Gluesenkamp Perez, Golden, and Cuellar) are also Blue Dogs (as is Adam Gray). Gluesenkamp Perez is the Blue Dog co-Chair.
