Kildee Co-Chairs Congressional Hearing on Dangers of Project 2025

WASHINGTON-Congressman Dan Kildee, co-chair of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, led a congressional hearing today to highlight how former President Trump's Project 2025 would enact a nationwide abortion ban, raise taxes on middle class families, and end Social Security and Medicare as we know it.

During the congressional hearing, Members of Congress heard testimony from Americans, including two Michigan residents, about how Project 2025 would hurt them and their families.

• Give former President Trump unlimited power and full control over America's legal system.
• End Medicare and Social Security as we know it.
• Eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and funding for K-12 public schools.
• Ban abortion medication and allow government surveillance of pregnancies and miscarriages.
• Allow employers to stop paying workers overtime.
• Give massive tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations while raising taxes on working class families by $4,000 a year, by forcing a Trump sales tax on everyday goods like gas, food, clothing, and prescription drugs.

"Project 2025, supported by Republicans in Congress and former President Trump, is an extreme and dangerous plan that would hurt working families in Michigan," said Congressman Kildee. "Extreme MAGA Republicans have outlined their plan to overhaul our government if they have power, including banning abortion nationwide, giving the former president unlimited power, ending support for K-12 public schools and privatizing Social Security and Medicare. Michigan families don't want this. This is in stark contrast to the opportunity economy agenda of Vice President Harris and Democrats in Congress, who are working to lower costs for working families on everyday goods like gas, groceries, housing and prescription drugs."
