Rep. Greg Stanton, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, posted a series of tweets on December 18 and 19, 2025, criticizing congressional leadership over health care policy decisions and calling for transparency in the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
On December 18, Stanton stated, “Instead of voting on our bipartisan plan to extend ACA tax credits for three years, @SpeakerJohnson had us vote last night on a bill that would actually kick 100,000 MORE Americans off their health insurance. If you won’t help us save health care, then get out of the way.”
Later that day, he added, “We have a bipartisan deal to make health care more affordable for over 20 million Americans. @SpeakerJohnson is sending Congress home for the year without a vote.”
On December 19, Stanton shifted focus to calls for government transparency regarding documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. He tweeted, “Time’s up. Today is the deadline to finally release the Epstein files. Anything less than a complete release — while protecting the privacy of the victims and survivors — isn’t transparency, it’s a coverup.”
Stanton’s remarks come amid ongoing debates in Congress about health care affordability and government accountability. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been central to discussions about expanding access and reducing costs for millions of Americans.
Greg Stanton has represented his district after winning consecutive elections against Kelly Cooper in both 2022 and 2024. In 2024, he secured victory with 52.7% of the vote compared to Cooper’s 45.5%. Two years earlier, he won with an even larger margin—56% to Cooper’s 43.1%.
