GOP legislator listens to voters, switchs to NO on Medicaid expansion | Eastern NC Now

some legislators respond to their constituents if voters make their voices heard

Some legislators still listen to their constituents instead of the lobbyists and the sellout GOP "leadership".  Constituent pressure has led State Representative Ben Moss (R-RIchmond) to abandon his sellout on the Obamcare Medicaid expansion, which he has previously voted for and announce he is now a NO vote on that issue.  His announcement slammed the expansion bill on all the right things.

With many legislators, it is still worth voters letting them know when they are going the wrong way.  It can turn around votes.

Unfortunately, Beaufort County's Medicaid spendthrift Sen. Jim Perry, is unlikely to listen.  Perry voted for and helped lead the charge for the leftwing Obamacare Medicaid excpansion in the 2022 legislative session.  Delegations of GOP activists from two of his three counties actually went to Raleigh to try to talk sense into him on that issue, but he blew them off and refused to even talk with them in any detail.  The problem with Perry is that he is owned, lock, stock, and barrel, by a series of special interests including Big Medicine, the Duke Energy monopoly,  and the wind and solar grifters.  He thinks their money will keep him elected so he cares nothing about the voters back home.  When the delegations went to Raleigh on this issue, Perry had the arrogance to tell both of them "I do not represent you."

At least in our local House seat, we have a legislator in Keith Kidwell, who has been reprsenting our interests well, and that includes voting and working against the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Hooray for Keith!

Maybe it is time for Beaufort County Republicans, and those in the other counties of the district, to find someone who WILL represent us in Raleigh. Perry just seems to want to represent his special interest buddies who dangle dollars in front of him. He did the same lousy thing on the Green New Deal, and is doing it on partial legalization of Marijuana and on gambling.
