During his remarks today in North Dakota, Vice President Mike Pence highlighted what voters already know— North Dakotans can’t count on Heidi Heitkamp to support their interests.
Heitkamp has modeled herself as independent voice for North Dakotans, but her record tells a different story. Whether it’s cutting taxes for middle-class families or banning abortion after 5-months, Heidi Heitkamp has abandoned North Dakotans to vote with Washington Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Here’s a quick recap of key quotes from the Vice President’s speech, which can be watched HERE and HERE:
“The people of North Dakota deserve to know that when it came time to cut your taxes, Senator Heidi Heitkamp voted no.”
“When it came to letting North Dakota families keep $2,600 more of your hard-earned money, Heidi Heitkamp voted no.”
“When it came to providing North Dakota farmers the relief they deserve from the death tax, Heidi Heitkamp voted no.”
“But folks it’s not just the tax cuts, the truth is time and again Heidi Heitkamp has voted no on the policies that the people of North Dakota support and the policies that North Dakota needs.”
“She voted no on repealing and replacing Obamacare.”
“And when the United States Senate was trying to eliminate the BLM methane rule that’s punishing North Dakota’s energy producers even as we speak, Heidi Heitkamp voted no. In fact, she cast the deciding vote to protect that job-killing regulation from being repealed.”
“She even voted no on protecting the unborn.”
“The truth is Heidi Heitkamp hasn’t been putting North Dakota first, and I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think the people of North Dakota deserve better.”
