Americans for Tax Reform recognizes the Virginia, New Jersey, and Mississippi incumbents and candidates who have taken the Taxpayer Protection Pledge ahead of the Nov. 5 general election. The Pledge is a written commitment to hardworking state taxpayers and to the American people to “oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes.”
“By signing The Pledge to the voters, these candidates and incumbents demonstrate that they will safeguard state taxpayers from higher taxes,” said Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform. “Pledge signers understand that government should be reformed in a way so that it spends and takes less taxpayer dollars, and will oppose tax increases that prolong failures of the past.”
Candidates can still make this important commitment to voters today by visiting: www.atr.org/take-the-pledge
