Citizens Club for Growth PAC Urges Voters to Reject Lynn Jenkins in KS-02 Election
Andrew Roth
Washington - As voters in Kansas' Second Congressional District prepare to go to the polls tomorrow, Citizens Club for Growth PAC urges them to remember Lynn Jenkins' record of raising taxes.
Last year, Citizens Club for Growth PAC ran a $100,000 ad buy in the Topeka, Kansas City, and Joplin markets highlighting Lynn Jenkins record of raising taxes when she was in the State Legislature. 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 Americans are struggling under the burden of record-high gas prices, do they really want to be represented by a politician who has a long record of raising taxes, including fuel taxes?" asked Citizens Club for Growth spokesman Chuck Pike. "Thanks to Lynn Jenkins' votes, Kansas taxpayers had to pay higher taxes on basic necessities, like gasoline and groceries. The last thing Kansas taxpayers need is to send a tax hiker like Lynn Jenkins to Congress."
