Today, ABC News reported that all three Republican candidates for US Senate are refusing to condemn Senate Republicans’ plan to raise federal income taxes on more than a quarter of New Hampshire families.
In response, U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan released the following statement:
“It’s unbelievable that all three of my potential Republican opponents are refusing to stand against Republicans’ plan to raise federal income taxes on Granite Staters. Unlike my opponents, I will do everything in my power to oppose Republicans’ effort to hike taxes on the people of New Hampshire.”
Background:
- ABC News: “Chuck Morse, one of several Republicans looking to flip Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan’s seat in New Hampshire, also expressed hesitancy over taxes while avoiding a clear condemnation of the proposal.
- “I have not seen the full report. I am a proud tax cutter and have signed the Americans for Tax Reform pledge to NH voters to oppose any new taxes or tax increases. I am building my own campaign based on the #603 way, not any Washington D.C. way,” Morse said in an emailed statement to ABC News.
- Fellow New Hampshire Republicans Don Bolduc declined to comment and Kevin Smith did not comment for this article.
