Bill Nelson either forgot he is running for reelection or doesn’t remember that he’s not running to be the Senator from New York. In an odd move during a committee hearing this morning, Nelson advocated for massive tax increases in order to pay for infrastructure.

If this plan of raising taxes sounds familiar, it’s because liberal Sen. Chuck Schumer proposed the same plan last week. So, Nelson’s great idea for hardworking Floridians is to repeal the wildly successful tax cuts that have already led to economic growth, new jobs and massive investments in workers. #GotIt

“Bill Nelson’s reelection strategy seems to be voting against bigger paychecks, bonuses and more jobs, and instead supporting higher taxes for Florida families,” said Katie Martin, NRSC Communications Director. “Polling has shown that a majority of voters can’t name a single Bill Nelson accomplishment in the Senate, but surely his idea of raising taxes and taking away bonuses and higher pay will stick come this November.”
