In response to Vice President Mike Pence’s PAC, Great America Committee, contributing to the re-election campaigns of Rep. Jeff Denham (CA-10) and Rep. Steve Knight (CA-25), DNC spokesperson Vedant Patel released the following statement:

“After selling out California’s families by supporting the disastrous GOP tax scam, advocating for policies that will rip families apart and voting ‘yes’ on multiple efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Jeff Denham and Steve Knight are being rewarded with a highly coveted PAC check from Vice President Mike Pence. The duo have made it abundantly clear they are more interested in pleasing the President, Vice President, and Republican Party leadership than standing up for Californians. Democrats and grassroots activists across the state will continue to hold accountable Trump, Pence, Knight, Denham and any other members of the GOP who have sold out the American people and betrayed working families in order to line the pockets of billionaires and corporations.”
