New Club PAC Ad in MI-07
Club for Growth PAC Releases Ad Buy in Michigan-07
Washington – Today, the Club for Growth PAC begins running a TV ad on Mark Schauer’s tax record in Michigan’s Seventh Congressional District. The $175,000 ad buy will run on broadcast television in the Lansing market and on cable stations throughout the Seventh District.
Mark Schauer’s record on taxes is abysmal, and voters have a right to know just how much Mark Schauer voted to raise their taxes before they make their decision on Election Day. His record is all the more insulting when you consider how Michigan taxpayers are struggling in these hard economic times. Over his years in the Michigan House of Representatives and in the State Senate, Schauer voted to raise taxes multiple times and is supporting further tax increases today:
- In 1997, Schauer voted to raise Michigan’s gas tax (House Journal 69, RC #777, 07/16/97)
- In 2007, Schauer voted to raise Michigan’s income tax (Senate Journal 100, RC #397, 10/01/07)
- In 2007, Schauer voted to raise Michigan’s sales tax (Senate Journal 100, RC #398, 10/02/07)
- Schauer says he is open to raising Social Security taxes (Detroit News, 09/08/08)
“In the State Legislature, Mark Schauer voted to raise taxes non-stop,” said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey. “So why should voters in Michigan send him to Congress? No doubt, he will vote to raise taxes in Congress just as much if not more. If voters want a representative who will fight for lower taxes and oppose outrageous measures like raising Social Security taxes, they should vote to reelect Rep. Tim Walberg. Walberg has a proven record of fighting against the Democratic tax-raising machine.”
