Democrats going after Trump's megabill tell their own stories of needing Medicaid and other aid programs
(CNN) As Democrats rush to define President Donald Trumps domestic policy and immigration law, a handful of liberal candidates are relying on their personal experiences with programs facing key cuts to highlight the broad scope of the legislation and target Republicans who voted for it.
Randy Villegas, who is challenging California Republican Rep. David Valadao in a district with one of the countrys highest concentrations of Medicaid recipients, said that the program covered his mothers prenatal care when he was born. Arizonas JoAnna Mendoza credits government assistance programs for allowing her to serve her country as a Marine.
And one district over from Mendoza, 25-year-old first-time candidate Deja Foxx leads with her backstory as the daughter of a single mom to distinguish herself ahead of a July 15 Democratic primary.
