CA 45 Walters
Mimi Walters (R) represents California’s 45th congressional district where over 97,000 individuals, including 31,000 children, receive their health care coverage through the state exchange for Obamacare (ACA) and Medicaid expansion. Yet she voted 7 out of 7 times for ACA repeal to take away their health care. Maybe she forgot 66,000 of them are eligible voters. Let us remind her by spelling it out for her – and painting her a picture.
CA-45 is based in Orange County and includes the communities of Irvine, Tustin, North Tustin, Villa Park, Orange, Anaheim Hills, Laguna Hills, Lake Forest, Rancho Santa Margarita and Mission Viejo.
In the Presidential race, Hillary Clinton won this district by 5.4%. In the House race, Walters beat her opponent by 54,000 votes, helped in large part by some 35,000 Hillary voters crossing over.
A switch of 27,000 votes (half of 54,000) will defeat Walters in 2018. We can mobilize 101,000 Health Votes to defeat her.
- 35,000 crossover Hillary votes
- 26,000 ACA enrolled votes
- 40,000 Medicaid Expansion votes
- Total Health Vote: 101,000
With 101,000 Health Votes versus the 27,000 needed to defeat her, Walters’ Vulnerability Ratio is 3.8 (extremely vulnerable).
ACT NOW, BEFORE SHE VOTES AGAIN. Tweet, Post on FB, Call, Fax, Write or E-mail Rep. Walters NOW.

Cut-and-paste suggested letter/email/Fax (personalizing helps):
Dear Honorable Representative Walters:
Congratulations on your recent election victory by a margin of 54,000 votes.
I am writing to you out of concern about your position on the Affordable Care Act.
If you vote to repeal the ACA, you will be jeopardizing the health and finances of over 97,000 of your constituents, including 31,000 children.
If compassion for their lives doesn’t sway you, let me remind you that 66,000 of these individuals are eligible voters. Combined with the 35,000 Hillary voters who crossed over to vote for you – and who strongly support Obamacare – 101,000 Health Votes may be mobilized against you, come 2018.
We hope you will do the right thing by your constituents and be a voice for their ongoing health and financial well-being by voting against ACA repeal.
Sincerely,
(Your name here)
