ICYMI: CfG Targets Curtis Over Green Energy Giveaways
Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, Club for Growth released a new ad hitting Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) over his threats to oppose President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and levy the largest tax increase in history to protect Biden-era green energy handouts. The ad ran statewide on Sunday political shows, along with phone calls urging Utah voters to contact Sen. Curtis’ office. Cami Mondeaux covered the launch as an exclusive report for Deseret News.
“Republicans were elected up and down the ballot in 2024 to reverse disastrous Biden policies — not protect them,” said Club for Growth President David McIntosh. “If the tax cut bill fails because John Curtis is against it in order to protect Biden giveaways, every family in Utah will be hit with the largest tax increase in history. We are confident his constituents in Utah will remind Sen. Curtis how misguided his approach is.”
In addition to Sen. John Curtis (R-UT), Club for Growth is currently running ads and phone calls targeting Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) over their opposition to The One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Club for Growth previously ran ads urging Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), Rep. Nick LaLota (NY-01), and Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17) to support President Trump’s Tax Cuts, as well as an ad thanking Rep. Scott Perry (PA-10) for his support of the legislation.

EXCERPTS:
The conservative Club for Growth is targeting Utah Sen. John Curtis over his support for clean energy tax credits, raising the stakes for Republican leaders as they scramble to pass their massive tax reconciliation bill.
The fiscally conservative group will launch an ad series this weekend targeting a handful of GOP lawmakers over their policy stances at odds with President Donald Trump’s massive budget framework. The ad taking aim at Curtis specifically focuses on his support for preserving some green energy tax incentives passed under the Biden administration through the Inflation Reduction Act.
“Republicans were elected up and down the ballot in 2024 to reverse disastrous Biden policies — not protect them,” said Club for Growth President David McIntosh. “If the tax cut bill fails because John Curtis is against it in order to protect Biden giveaways, every family in Utah will be hit with the largest tax increase in history. We are confident his constituents in Utah will remind Sen. Curtis how misguided his approach is.”
The 30-second ad, which will run statewide beginning on Sunday, claims Curtis is threatening Trump’s plans to reverse former President Joe Biden’s signature climate policies.
The commercial specifically refers to the 1,038-page megabill making its way through Congress seeking to advance Trump’s policies on the border, energy production, national defense and more. The budget resolution also contains extensions for a slew of tax cuts set to expire at the end of this year.
