Chris Pappas raises taxes, while John Sununu cuts

When it comes to taxes, Granite Staters deserve to know who is raising them and who is fighting to cut them.
Chris Pappas has consistently voted for higher taxes and higher costs. He voted with Nancy Pelosi 222 out of 223 times, including supporting partisan legislation that spent trillions of dollars and caused inflation to skyrocket and drove up the cost of living for New Hampshire families.
Pappas also voted his party line for the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, a bill that would have raised taxes on many Granite Staters earning under $400,000 a year. In 2021, Pappas backed President Biden’s energy plan, which would have imposed roughly $100 billion in new taxes on American energy producers, inevitably increasing energy costs for New Hampshire homeowners.
Not only did he vote against the Working Family Tax Cuts, he proudly yelled “hell no” to eliminating taxes on tips, overtime pay, and social security and expanding the child tax credit and providing extra support for small businesses. He’s treating your hard-earned wages as Monopoly money to please his leftist base.
John Sununu’s record couldn’t be a starker contrast. In the Senate, Sununu voted to increase the child tax credit and eliminate the marriage penalty tax, providing real relief to families. He also supported efforts to reduce income taxes, eliminate the death tax and backed $46 billion in tax cuts over five years, including $26 billion in tax relief for small businesses.
The choice is clear. Chris Pappas raises taxes and costs for working families, while John Sununu cuts taxes and puts Granite Staters first.
