Concord, NH – Last week, U.S. Senate candidate Chris Pappas told a national television audience on MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” that a Democrat-controlled Senate would block the current tax rates from being extended. For New Hampshire, that means families would have paid an additional $3,472 a year.
AFP Action Senior Advisor Sarah Scott released the following statement:
“Chris Pappas confirmed he’s running for a Senate majority whose own agenda would let Americans’ taxes go back up. That’s $3,472 a year for the average Granite State family if those rates expire, which he voted against extending. New Hampshire families need a senator who fights to lower their costs, not one who votes to raise them, and that senator is John Sununu.
“Sununu has a record of fighting to cut taxes, reining in wasteful federal spending, and reducing regulatory burdens on New Hampshire small businesses. AFP Action is proud to stand behind Sununu, who is committed to lowering costs and will restore common sense policymaking to Washington.”
Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) has led the charge in holding Pappas accountable on affordability, including its July ad campaign spotlighting Pappas’ record of putting Washington over Granite Staters.
