Americans for Tax Reform recognizes the New Hampshire and Rhode Island incumbents and candidates who have taken the Taxpayer Protection Pledge ahead of the September 8 primary election. The Pledge is a written commitment to hardworking 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 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.”
New candidates sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge regularly. For the most up-to-date information on this race or any other, please visit the ATR Pledge Database.
Candidates can still make this important commitment to voters ahead of the September primary by visiting: www.atr.org/take-the-pledge
