Citizens Club for Growth PAC Releases Ad against Tax-Hiker Lynn Jenkins
Washington - Today, the Citizens Club for Growth PAC released a television ad in Kansas, highlighting State Treasurer and U.S. congressional candidate Lynn Jenkins' track record of raising taxes on Kansas taxpayers.
Entitled "Tax Hiker," the ad uses a playful political parody to demonstrate how the "Lynn Jenkins Taxes" have hurt hardworking Kansans. Whether they are filling up their cars with gas, buying groceries for their families, or enjoying the comfort of their homes, Kansas taxpayers are paying higher taxes thanks to Lynn Jenkins' votes. These include:
- Jenkins voted to increase fuel taxes by more than 38% (HB 2071, 1999) (HB 2507, 2001) (HB 3011, 2002)
- Jenkins voted against decreasing property taxes by 5% (SB 69, 2001)
- Jenkins voted to raise the state sales tax by 8% (HB 2009, 2002)
"As a former State Legislator, Lynn Jenkins went on a tax-hiking rampage, and now Kansas taxpayers are paying the price," Citizens Club for Growth spokesperson Chuck Pike said. "Although the ad is a political parody, Jenkins' numerous votes for higher taxes are very real and have had a deep impact on Kansas taxpayers. Kansans couldn't afford Lynn Jenkins when she was in the State Legislature, and Americans can't afford Lynn Jenkins in Congress."
The two-week ad buy totals $75,000, covering the Topeka, Kansas City, and Joplin/Pittsburg broadcast TV markets, and cable systems throughout the district. The script is below and attached.
