Vega Calls on Spanberger to Answer for Sky Rocketing Inflation

October 13th, 2022

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY – Today, Yesli Vega issued the following statement in response to the nation's new inflation numbers that show the cost of living is continuing to rise to historic levels with "goods such as flour, cookies, turkey, and canned fruits and vegetables all rising by the most ever."

 

"Nearly two years after Joe Biden assured the American people that inflation was temporary, Virginians are still getting slammed by soaring prices. Remember when Abigail Spanberger was at the White House last month partying with Joe Biden at his 'Inflation Reduction' celebration? Where is that inflation reduction? Virginians want to know. They're not fooled – they see that the more Abigail Spanberger and Nancy Pelosi spend, the less they get to save. Every day I'm out in the community speaking with hardworking Virginians who are struggling to feed their families, pay rent, and keep the lights on at home. I'm committed to getting our economy back on track so that the American Dream can once again be in their reach, and that starts with putting an end to wasteful, inflationary spending." – Yesli Vega, Republican Nominee for Virginia's 7th Congressional District

 

Background:

 

In September, Abigail joined Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi at the White House to celebrate "Inflation Reduction" while the cost of living continued to rise.

 

The cost of living is now unaffordable for so many in our communities, with basic goods and services costing the average household an extra $700 a month - that adds up to over $8,000 a year. That's not to mention 71% of workers report that their paychecks haven't been able to keep up with rising prices.
