Rep. Peter Abbarno joins House Republican Radio to break down key House floor battles, upcoming debates, and the fight against bad legislation

March 3, 2025

Rep. Peter Abbarno, House Republican Caucus Chair, joins House Republican Radio for a Q&A on the upcoming House floor debates and the fights ahead.

Abbarno highlights two major themes to watch: affordability and accountability. With Democrats pushing for higher taxes—including property tax hikes and rent control (HB 1217)—he warns of the impact on struggling families. He also discusses efforts to dismantle the Parents’ Bill of Rights (HB 1296) and a concerning push to expand homelessness policies into local neighborhoods.

He also emphasizes that we don’t have a budget crisis; we have a priorities crisis. House Democrats continue to pass legislation that would increase the cost of living when we should be looking at our spending habits. The bottom line is that their words to the public don’t match their actions in the Legislature.

Tune in to hear what House Republicans are doing to stand up against these bad policies.
