ClubforGrowth.Net Doubles Ad Buy
ClubforGrowth.Net Doubles Ad Buy In Iowa and South Carolina
Washington – Today, Club for Growth.Net is more than doubling its initial advertising buy in Iowa and South Carolina, adding an additional $200,000 to the effort.
Entitled “United,” the ad addresses the ongoing tax battle in Washington and urges taxpayers to call Mike Huckabee and challenge him on his tax policy. While the former governor has repeatedly argued that he cut taxes 94 times, the ad demonstrates his willingness to raise taxes. Indeed Huckabee’s tax increases far surpassed his tax cuts with the average Arkansas tax burden increasing 47 percent over his tenure. Mike Huckabee’s support for tax hikes includes:
- 1996 Sales Tax Hike: Huckabee campaigned for an amendment to raise the sales tax
- 1999 Gas and Diesel Fuel Tax Hike
- 2001 Cigarette Tax Hike
- 2001 Nursing Home Bed Tax
- 2002 Grocery Tax: Huckabee opposed repeal
- 2003 Income Surcharge Tax
- 2003 Tobacco Tax Hike
- Taxes on Internet Access
- 2006 Beer Tax: Huckabee opposed letting the tax expire
“Club for Growth.Net is more than doubling its original ad buy because we believe Americans deserve to know the truth about Mike Huckabee’s tax policies so they can question him about his record,” said Club for Growth.Net President Pat Toomey. “Huckabee’s laundry list of tax increases is too long to simply ignore.”
The $200,000 ad buy will run on broadcast TV and statewide cable in Iowa and statewide cable in South Carolina.
