Americans for Tax Reform congratulates all candidates running for federal office in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Washington who have signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge ahead of the August 7th primaries. The “no new taxes” pledge is a written commitment to oppose any and all tax increases. ATR has shared the Pledge with all candidates for federal office since 1986.
