Tom MacArthur
When it comes to choosing between the greed of his mega-donors or the needs of his constituents, Congressman Tom MacArthur has chosen his mega-donors time and again.
At his donors' behest, MacArthur crafted a revamped GOP health care bill that passed the House and could have increased the number of uninsured people in his district by 112%.
MacArthur was the only member of Congress from New Jersey to vote against the state's interests by supporting the tax reform bill that would raise taxes on many middle class New Jerseyans while cutting taxes for wealthy political donors. The bill was the top priority for Republican mega-donors. It would raise taxes on 13 million Americans who earn less than $100,000 a year, while half of the benefits would go to the top one percent in the country.
MacArthur voted for a bill backed by the mega-donor Koch brothers that seeks to keep New Jersey voters in the dark about funding sources for secret money organizations. He also voted to block a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.
