Garrity, Pennsylvania’s State Treasurer, was accused by Democrats of voting for the bill even though she is not in Congress.
In a recent fundraising email, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party referred to the state’s treasurer, Stacy Garrity, as a member of Congress.
Garrity, a Republican, has been rumored to be planning a run for Governor in 2026.
The email was sent on Sunday to a list of potential donors and was signed off by Mich Kate, the state party’s executive director.
The email said, “[Recipient’s name], Let’s play Two Truths & a Lie.”
The email listed the following three statements as part of the game:
- “Trump banned unions in federal agencies in an April Executive Order
- Rep. Bresnahan sold his stocks in the biggest provider for Medicaid right before he voted to rip Medicaid away from 17 million Americans
- Rep. Garrity voted for Trump’s Big Bullshit Bill that eliminates energy tax credits, killing our economic growth in Western PA and beyond.”
The email continued, “every goddamn bullet point was a TRUTH.” The party asked for donations before adding, “We can’t make this shit up.”
It turned out there was a lie included in the list.
Stacy Garrity, the state’s treasurer, is not a Member of Congress. She did not vote for the bill.
Garrity reacted to being mistakenly mentioned in the email, writing on social media, “Who wants to tell them? 😂”
She shared a screenshot of the fundraising email and said, “Do better, @PADems. 🤡”
Pennsylvania Democrats responded on Monday. They acknowledged the mistake sent in their fundraising email, then thanked Garrity “for giving us the opportunity to remind everyone that you’re 100% in lockstep with gutting Medicaid for millions of Americans to bail out billionaires! 🤡”
Garrity has publicly teased a gubernatorial run of her own in 2026. She is expected to announce her candidacy in the coming weeks and has the support of Republican Party leaders in Pennsylvania.
