Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) congratulates Taxpayer Protection Pledge signer Senator Rick Scott on his victory in the Florida U.S. Senate race. As a Pledge signer, Senator Scott made a written commitment to the taxpayers of Florida to oppose and vote against tax hikes.
Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell never signed the Pledge and left the door open to higher taxes on Americans and their families.
“I congratulate Taxpayer Protection Pledge signer Senator Rick Scott on winning the Florida U.S. Senate race. Senator Scott 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 backwards 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 candidates focused on pro-growth policies that hold the line on taxes and expand economic opportunities for 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.
