Kim Coleman Makes “No New Taxes” Commitment In UT-04 Race
Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) congratulates congressional candidate Kim Coleman for signing the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which is a written commitment to the people of Utah to oppose income tax hikes.
Candidates running for public office like to say they will not raise taxes, but often turn their backs on the taxpayer once elected. The idea of the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is simple enough: Make them put their no-new-taxes rhetoric in writing. It is offered to every candidate for state and federal office and to all incumbents. Nearly 1,400 elected officials have signed the Pledge
“The Taxpayer Protection Pledge stands as a barrier against tax hikes and makes continued pro-growth tax reform possible. We are ecstatic about Coleman’s decision to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge to the taxpayers of Utah,” said Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform.
Coleman joins several members of the Utah delegation in making this commitment to The Beehive State taxpayers, including Sen. Mike Lee, Sen. Mitt Romney, Rep. Rob Bishop, and Rep. John Curtis.
“The American people are looking for solutions that create jobs and grow the economy. Signing the Taxpayer Protection Pledge and holding the line on taxes is the first step in that process,” continued Norquist.
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.
