Citizens Against Government Waste PAC Endorses Pat
WASHINGTON - (Business Wire) The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste Political Action Committee (CCAGWPAC) has formally announced its endorsement of former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) in the Republican primary race for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. The Republican primary is May 18, 2010.
“Pat Toomey is a proven leader in supporting limited government and eliminating excessive spending,” said CCAGWPAC Chairman Tom Schatz. “Pat Toomey’s voting record as a three-term member of the U.S. House of Representatives demonstrates that he has the interests of the taxpayers at heart. He was recognized by the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) as a ‘Taxpayer Hero’ with a lifetime rating of 95 percent for his three terms in the House of Representatives and achieved a rating as a ‘Taxpayer Superhero’ in 2001 for receiving a perfect rating of 100 percent. With this type of record, taxpayers can take comfort that if elected to the U.S. Senate, Pat Toomey will continue to work to eliminate waste, fraud, and mismanagement in government.”
Rep. Toomey’s work included efforts to balance the budget and cut taxes. On May 11, 2010, Rep. Toomey signed CCAGW’s “No Earmark Pledge,” meaning he will not request any earmarks if he is elected to the Senate.
“Rep. Toomey has a demonstrated ability to lead Congress to improve the future economic outlook. America needs leaders who say ‘no’ to wasteful spending and the ongoing pork-fest in Washington. Pat Toomey will work to cut the record budget deficit and oppose tax increases, which will improve the lives of every Pennsylvanian and all taxpayers,” concluded Schatz.
CCAGWPAC is affiliated with the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, a 501(c)(4) organization. CCAGWPAC’s mission is to support political candidates who will fight to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government and represent the best interests of taxpayers.
