Cancer survivor's mom shames GOP congressman: 'He ignored us'

By Tommy Christopher - October 22, 20181

Steve Chabot can't hide from the people he's tried to hurt.

The mother of a teenage cancer survivor is speaking out against Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH) for voting to strip protections from people like her daughter, and for ignoring their pleas for help.

Colleen Bowman and her 14 year-old daughter Ella appear in a powerful new ad for Democratic challenger Aftab Pureval, in which Mrs. Bowman urges voters to remember Chabot’s record on Election Day.

“If Steve Chabot had his way, Ella could be left without healthcare,” Bowman says in the ad.

“Steve Chabot has voted to strip protections from people with pre-existing conditions,” Bowman continues. “I know, because my daughter and I repeatedly contacted Steve Chabot, begging him to protect cancer survivors like Ella. He ignored us.”

I guess the Republicans figured that their constituents wouldn't remember that time their elected officials tried to cut off access to health care. Surprise!
