PRESS RELEASE
OCTOBER 1: RALLY TO HOLD KEVIN KILEY ACCOUNTABLE FOR GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
Rocklin, CA – On Wednesday, October 1st at 10:00 AM PDT, Placer County Democrats and community members will hold a rally outside of Congressman Kevin Kiley’s Rocklin office to hold him accountable for causing the health care crisis leading to a government shutdown.
Instead of working to extend lifesaving Affordable Care Act tax credits and protect Medicaid, Kiley and D.C. Republicans have made clear they’d rather rip away health care from tens of thousands and drive up costs for hardworking Californians – all to give tax cuts to the richest Americans.
Now, our communities are facing a 75% spike in their health care premiums – including 41,000 people in California’s 3rd Congressional District alone. If Kiley fails to act, 12,500 people in this district would lose their healthcare immediately because they simply can’t afford higher premiums.
California’s Congressional District 3 deserves leadership that will fulfill its basic duty of keeping the government open and protecting families’ access to affordable healthcare. This shutdown is another failure of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, and Kiley’s constituents are working to pass Proposition 50 to ensure Democrats have a fair shot at taking the majority in November 2026.
WHAT: Rally to Hold Kevin Kiley Accountable for the GOP Government Shutdown
WHEN: Wednesday, October 1st from 10:00 AM ~ 12:00 PM PDT
WHERE: Rep. Kevin Kiley’s District Office: 6538 Lonetree Blvd #200, Rocklin, CA 95765
WHO:
Placer County Democrats
Indivisible Roseville, Auburn, and Nevada County representatives
Ellen Bezanson, Organizer, Sacramento Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO
Ruth Cox, Lincoln Democratic Club President
Barbara Smith, Placer County Democratic Party 2nd Vice-Chair
