In Revolution 2010,
nineteen of CLT’s 2½ PAC-endorsed candidates won their races,
giving us more taxpayer friends on Beacon Hill. These new
legislators joined other CLT allies in ongoing support of the
income tax rollback mandated by voters in 2000 and in opposition
to EBT abuses; they led the fight against the healthcare
“reform” legislation this summer. We taxpayers want more like
them.
This year the PAC has
endorsed 40 candidates: 23 newcomers, along with 17 incumbents
who have a challenger; many of these have also received PAC
contributions.
To receive our
endorsement, incumbents must have a good CLT rating. New
candidates have signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge and
satisfactorily filled out the taxpayer-issues questionnaire.
The Taxpayer
Protection Pledge is a promise not to CLT’s PAC — but to their
voters/constituents, that a legislator will not vote for higher
taxes but will instead fight the waste, inefficiency, corruption
and mismanagement in state government, much of which has been
exposed by the Massachusetts media (thank you).
Our endorsed
candidates are listed in alphabetic order, Senate first, then
House, indicated on the left with a check mark for easier
identification along with their campaign websites and phone
numbers beneath.
Note: Each
candidate's hometown is in parentheses to right of a candidate’s
name for identification. To the right of an incumbent's name [in
red] is their 2011-2012 CLT rating. To the far right of our
endorsed candidate is his or her opponent. On the line below our
endorsed candidate is his or her campaign contact information.
