(Washington D.C.) – The Independent Women's Voice President and CEO Heather R. Higgins released the following statement applauding Clint Didier for advancing to the runoff off for the GOP bid in Washington's 4th congressional district:

“On behalf of Independent Women's Voice, I congratulate Clint Didier on advancing to the GOP runoff election in Washington's 4th congressional district. Mr. Didier was the only Repeal Pledge signer in the crowded primary field.  His decision to sign demonstrates to voters a much appreciated commitment to rolling back the government take-over of our health care system and returning power to patients and doctors."
 
 
The Repeal Pledge advocates not just repeal, but defunding, deauthorizing, and dismantling the misleadingly-titled Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, enacted in early 2010. The Repeal Pledge was designed as a litmus test to help the American public understand which candidates and office holders are serious about repeal, versus those who claim to be but won't actually take action.

Signers of the Repeal Pledge believe that this law cannot be "fixed" and that stopping its implementation and ultimately repealing it are necessary first steps to ensure that citizens and their doctors, not government bureaucrats, have choice and control over their health care, and that medical care in our country becomes more affordable and available.
