Congratulations to Senator-elect Jim Justice of West Virginia
Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) congratulates Taxpayer Protection Pledge signer Jim Justice on his victory in the West Virginia U.S. Senate race. As a Pledge signer, Justice made a written commitment to the taxpayers of West Virginia to oppose and vote against tax hikes.
Democrat Glenn Elliott never signed the Pledge and left the door open to higher taxes on Americans and their families.
“I congratulate Taxpayer Protection Pledge signer Jim Justice on winning the West Virginia U.S. Senate race. Justice focused on the kitchen table issues that mattered most to everyday Americans during the campaign, and they rewarded him,” said ATR President Grover Norquist.
Unfortunately, Democratic candidates for office do not share this commitment. They seek to reverse course and implement backward tax-and-spend policies that would only stunt economic growth and take more money out of the hands of taxpayers.
After four long years of Democrat policies crushing American workers, retirees, consumers, and small businesses, voters have finally had enough. Voters have spoken and they elected a candidate focused on pro-growth policies that hold the line on taxes and expand economic opportunities for everyday Americans.
Eighty-five percent of all congressional Republicans have made the written commitment to oppose higher taxes. In contrast, ZERO congressional Democrats have made that promise.
New candidates sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge regularly. For the most up-to-date information on these races or any others, please visit the ATR Pledge Database.
