CLT's 2½ PAC-endorsed legislative candidates for the 2014 election

NOTE:  Endorsements have been updated to reflect election results.



Below is the list of the legislative candidates who have so far been endorsed by CLT's 2½ PAC for the 2014 election.

Many taxpayer-friendly incumbents, with excellent CLT ratings, are not listed below because they are unopposed for re-election.

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-issue questionnaire.

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 party affiliation-hometown is to the right of a candidate’s name for identification.  Further to the right of incumbents is their 2013-2014 CLT rating in red.  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.

For more information call me at 508-915-3665.

Thanks,

Francis "Chip" Faulkner
PAC Director
