Carlos Gimenez Voted Twice for Trump's Medicaid and SNAP Cuts. Three Months Later He Signed a Letter Saying Republicans 'Will Not Take Healthcare Away From Families Who Depend on It.'

Gimenez voted yes in May and again in July 2025 on the budget bill that cuts close to $1 trillion from Medicaid and $187 billion from SNAP. Since then Florida's SNAP rolls have fallen fastest in Monroe County, which is in his district, and on October 1 refugees and asylees started losing Medicaid. The biggest cuts are still to come.

More than 400,000 Arizonans have lost benefits since.
