After Cutting Higher Education & Calling For Higher Taxes, Kaine Now Claims To Support Young Workers, Small Businesses
Former DNC Chairman’s Revisionist History Tour Continues Despite a demonstrated record of cutting higher education as Governor and one day after reiterating his support for a massive tax hike on Virginia small businesses that will harm their ability to hire new workers, former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine’s revisionist history tour continued in the Commonwealth today. Kaine unveiled a series of vague education and workforce proposals that his campaign claims will “equip young people with the skills they need to succeed in the jobs and industries of a global economy.” But what Kaine didn’t mention was his actual record as Governor where he proposed significant cuts to higher education or his service as President Obama’s hand-picked DNC Chair in Washington where he led the charge for higher taxes on Virginia small businesses. Business owners across the country and across the Commonwealth have made clear that higher taxes will further harm their…
What They Are Saying About Embattled Congresswoman Shelley Berkley
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING NATIONALLY … POLITICO: In a major blow to Rep. Shelley Berkley’s Senate campaign, the House Ethics Committee announced Monday that it will formally investigate the Nevada Democrat over allegations she used her office to aid her husband’s medical practice. … Behind the scenes, Democrats were less optimistic. Monday’s announcement will allow the GOP to pummel Berkley as “under investigation” and “ethically challenged” in every TV ad until Election Day, since it will be virtually impossible for the Ethics Committee to complete its work by then, at least based on recent history. “This is going to make it real, real tough,” admitted one top Senate Democratic strategist, speaking on condition of anonymity. “I am not sure she can overcome it.” (John Bresnahan, Shelley Berkley ethics case shakes up Nevada race, Politico, 7/9/12) NEW YORK TIMES: Representative Shelley Berkley’s bid for a Senate seat in Nevada will most…

NRSC Statement On The House Of Representatives Committee On Ethics’ Investigation Of Rep. Shelley Berkley
National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Executive Director Rob Jesmer issued the following statement today regarding the House Ethics Committee’s unanimous decision to move forward in their investigation of Nevada Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. “It speaks volumes that even Shelley Berkley’s Democrat colleagues unanimously voted to move forward investigating Berkley’s use of her office to enrich her and her husband. Since Berkley entered the political arena we’ve seen a long pattern of ethical questions surrounding her conduct. Nevadans deserve someone in the Senate who they can trust to work on their behalf and not someone – like Ms. Berkley – who puts her own financial and political interests first.” BACKGROUND: On September 5, 2011, a front-page story in the New York Times uncovered a pattern of instances in which Congresswoman Berkley used her official office for apparent personal financial gain. On September 21, 2011, the Nevada Republican Party filed a complaint with the…
