Citizens For Limited Taxation’s PAC Endorses Girouard For State Rep

NOTE: Paul Girouard is a candidate for State Representative for the 21st Middlesex District, which encompasses Burlington, Bedford and Precinct 3 in Wilmington.

BURLINGTON, MA — Paul Girouard has won the endorsement of Citizens For Limited Taxation’s 2 ½ Political Action Committee in his election bid for State Representative from the 21st Middlesex District.

CLT’S 2 ½ PAC, the political arm of Citizens for Limited Taxation, was originally created to support candidates who would defend Proposition 2 ½ in the State Legislature.  It now endorses candidates who support taxpayers on a variety of issues, and uses the CLT Legislative rating to identify pro-taxpayer legislators.

Francis J. Faulkner, executive director of the PAC, said the group endorsed Girouard based on his strong support for tax limitation.

“We need to put people like Paul Girouard in the State Legislature to continue the fight for the income tax rollback and to block any attempt to impose new taxes.  He brings a refreshing commonsense approach to fiscal issues that I’m sure the taxpayers of his district will appreciate.  Paul has also taken the taxpayer protection pledge. This pledge asks candidates to ‘oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes’  A candidate who signs the pledge is sending a message to legislative leaders that he is serious about not raising taxes and will focus instead on better management of state revenues.”

By contrast, his opponent Representative Ken Gordon, has voted against the taxpayers on 14 out or 15 key taxpayer votes in the 2015-16 session.  For this reason Rep. Gordon received a low 07% on CLT’s most recent taxpayer rating.

In serving the best interests of the taxpayers and the economy, the CLT’s 2 ½ PAC urges the voters of the 21^st Middlesex District to vote for Paul Girouard on November 8th.
