AAN Hits McDonald Rivet for Raising Taxes, Praises Barrett for Cutting Taxes

(WASHINGTON) — American Action Network today launched a campaign highlighting the stark contrast between Kristen McDonald Rivet and Tom Barrett on lowering costs and taxes for Michigan working families.

“Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet voted no on tax cuts for tips and overtime and tax relief for seniors. Then she lied about it and tried to take credit because she knows how much these tax cuts help Michiganders,” said AAN Spokeswoman Lydia Hall. “Rep. Tom Barrett, on the other hand, is the real deal. He chose to cut taxes, lower costs and stand up to the radical ideas from the left like taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries for kids.”

This campaign is part of a larger $22 million summer issue advocacy push on broadcast, digital and mail highlighting the stark contrast between conservatives and liberals on lowering costs and federal spending priorities.

As part of the Working Families Tax Cut, House Republicans delivered the largest tax cut in American history, cut taxes on tips and overtime and lowered taxes for social security beneficiaries. Meanwhile, House Democrats voted to raise taxes on working families and wasted federal money on radical priorities like taxpayer-funded sex changes for minors.

This summer issue advocacy campaign brings AAN’s total investment to a record $62 million in a single Congress.
