“On November 3, voters in Virginia and New Jersey voted for candidates who had committed themselves to voting against and opposing any and all tax increases,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. “Americans are desperately searching for candidates and politicians that will protect their livelihoods and put their wallets ahead of government coffers. As Washington seeks to levy billions in new taxes and fees on the taxpayers of Virginia and New Jersey, I applaud these Pledge signers for making clear that tax hikes will not come out of Trenton and Richmond on their watch.”
