Patty vs. Parents, Part III: If It Were Up to Murray, Families Would See $1,500 Less Per Child Ever Year
Washington, D.C. – Thirty years ago, Patty Murray got elected to the U.S. Senate as “a mom in tennis shoes,” branding herself as a fighter for parents and their children. Thirty years later, the opposite has become true.
Patty Murray and her dark money allies have been on the air, declaring her a champion of the child tax credit. But today the National Republican Senatorial Committee is out with a new video to tell the truth about Murray’s voting record on the child tax credit.
Watch here:
After thirty years in the Senate, Patty Murray has gone completely out of touch with moms and dads when it comes to the needs of their children.
BACKGROUND
- 2001: Patty voted against the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act, which doubled the child tax credit from $500 to $1,000 over ten years.
- 2003: Patty voted against the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act, which accelerated the child tax credit doubling from $500 to $1,000 starting in 2004. Patty even called the 2003 tax cuts “misguided.”
- 2017: Patty voted against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which doubled the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000 per child.
- If Patty had her way, Washingtonian families would potentially have $1,500 less in their pocketbooks per child every year.
