Nevada Republicans aren’t buying Establishment Ron’s attempts to hide his ‘America Second’ record. Ron has voted to raise your taxes, supported outsourcing American jobs, and tried to destroy Social Security and Medicare for Nevada’s seniors.

While in Congress, DeSantis voted in favor of legislation to make Yucca Mountain a nuclear waste repository.

In 2013, DeSantis “voted in favor of the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, which contained a provision to reopen the Yucca Mountain waste repository after Congress two years prior had voted to end funding for the site.”

DeSantis has stumbled out of the gates in Nevada. In April 2023, it was reported that a pro-DeSantis consultant was named as a defendant in a Nevada fraud lawsuit.

Ron DeSantis Voted To Outsource American Jobs

In 2014, DeSantis voted to block companies who wish to bring back American jobs from claiming a tax credit worth 20% of expenses related to moving back to the United States.

That same year, DeSantis voted to allow companies that outsource American jobs to still receive lucrative government contracts. President Trump has promised to block any company which outsources jobs to China from receiving government contracts.

In Congress, Ron DeSantis opposed President Trump’s America First trade agenda, which leveled the playing field for American workers and businesses and forced China to buy more American made goods.

Ron DeSantis Voted To Raise Your Taxes

In Congress, DeSantis cosponsored the so-called “Fair Tax Act” three times—in 2013, in 2015, and in 2017— which called for a new 23% national sales tax.

The Tax Policy Center found that Ron DeSantis’ “Fair Tax Act,” would have raised taxes on working, middle-class families.

Under DeSantis’ plan, 90% of earners would see a tax hike.

DeSantis’ proposed “Fair Tax” would have added trillions to deficits over 10 years.

DeSantis’ Disastrous Trade Record

In 2015, DeSantis voted to grant President Obama fast-track authority for trade bills submitted to congress, including TPP.

In 2015, DeSantis voted against treating currency undervaluation as an illegal subsidy, which would have targeted China.

Unlike DeSantis, President Trump called out China for taking advantage of the United States through currency manipulation. 

In 2018, DeSantis claimed, “I’m not somebody that advocates tariffs.”

DeSantis Has Made It Clear That He Won’t Protect The United States On The World Stage

In 2014, DeSantis voted for legislation authorizing $70 million in aid to Ukraine.

In 2015, DeSantis was critical of the Obama administration for not sending lethal aid to Ukraine.

In March 2023, DeSantis characterized Russia’s war in Ukraine as a “territorial dispute,” but later clarified and called Putin a war criminal.

DeSantis Tried To Destroy Social Security & Medicare 

DeSantis has voted not to protect Medicare and Social Security for Nevada’s seniors.

As a congressman, DeSantis voted to raise the eligibility age to 70 to receive full Social Security benefits—in 2013, in 2014, and in 2015.

Before DeSantis was even elected to Congress, he said it was “necessary to make reforms” to Social Security.

On DeSantis’ first day in Congress, he called “to restructure some of these entitlements,” such as Social Security.

In Congress, DeSantis voted twice to cut Medicare benefits in 2015 and 2017.

A disciple of Paul Ryan, DeSantis said in one interview, “I would embrace proposals like Paul Ryan offered, and other people have offered, that are going to provide some market forces in there, more consumer choice, and make it so that it’s not just basically a system that’s just going to be bankrupt when you have new people coming into it.”
