Congress

Cathy McMorris Rodgers last week abandoned working families who work for the Federal Government by voting against granting paid leave for the birth of a child or for the placement of a child with the parent for adoption or foster care.

With unemployment claims for the month of May up by 23 percent over last year, Cathy McMorris-Rogers and the Republican party in Congress voted last week to deny an extension of benefits to those most in need 

More families than last year are without jobs in Eastern Washington, and the unemployment rate for many Northeastern Washington State Counties are very high, yet Cathy McMorris-Rogers chooses her friends in Washington over her constituents here at home.
