¶ How To Win Against Casey Askar
Casey Askar is a Trump-endorsed candidate for Florida’s 22nd congressional district who is attempting to use his vast personal fortune to secure a seat for himself in Congress. He has been endorsed by President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, who led the way in the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which made massive cuts to Medicaid and food assistance. Askar also supports eliminating the Affordable Care Act.
Askar claims to want to deal with the “affordability crisis,” but has not come out against Trump’s tariffs or war in Iran, which have both resulted in significant price increases for Floridians.
Floridians don’t need another rubber stamp for Trump’s agenda of less healthcare, higher prices, and a prolonged war in Iran.
¶ Askar Supported Policies That Would Cut Healthcare For Millions Of Americans
- Askar promised to stand by President Trump, who signed into law the One Big, Beautiful Bill that kicked more than 17 million Americans off their health insurance.
- Askar said he wanted to “end Obamacare once and for all.” In 2024, Florida had the greatest number of residents who received health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act.
Message: Askar promised to be another vote in Congress to kick Floridians off their health care all to give billionaires tax breaks.
¶ Askar Supported Massive Cuts To Medicare
- Askar promised to stand by President Trump, who fought for passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, which would trigger nearly $500 billion in Medicare cuts absent future congressional action. 5.2 million Floridians relied on Medicare.
Message: Askar would be another vote to slash Medicare for seniors.
¶ Askar Stood By Trump’s Sweeping Cuts To Food Assistance
- Askar promised to stand by President Trump even though his One Big, Beautiful Bill was behind the single largest cut to SNAP in history.
Message: Askar would be a rubber stamp for policies that cut food assistance programs Floridians rely on to afford groceries.
¶ Askar Supported Trump's Actions In Iran
- Askar said he supported Trump’s “peace through strength” approach to foreign policy and that Trump was acting “very effectively, very strategically” with Iran. When asked to clarify whether he supported the U.S. going into Iran, Askar expressed support by saying “I support not having a nuclear Iran, I support not having a terrorist state.”
Message: Askar supported Trump's costly war in Iran that raised prices for Floridians.
