2022 CO Senate race: on Tax Reform


Joe O`Dea: Signed pledge to oppose any and all tax increases

O'Dea announced his signing of the Americans for Tax Reform's Taxpayer's Protection Pledge.

"Enough is enough," said Joe O'Dea. "We don't need more government in our lives and we certainly do not need more taxes." The Taxpayer Protection Pledge is a written commitment to oppose any and all tax increases.

Michael Bennet: Reverse Trump tax cuts; restore expanded child tax credit

He vehemently rejected the idea that the expanded child tax credit caused rising prices as it lifted families out of poverty: "It is a ridiculous statement to say $100 billion investment in working people on a $23 trillion dollar economy is going to drive inflation." Bennet would like to extend those tax credits. Bennet said a bill reversing the Trump tax cuts for the rich, extending tax credits and fighting climate change would be "helpful to me, helpful to the country and helpful to my state."

Ron Hanks: Fight for limited government & lower taxes

[On political philosophy]: "As my proven conservative record in the Colorado Legislature shows, I will fight--front and center--for limited government, lower taxes, and personal liberties," he states. "Government must be constrained by our Constitution. One radical party controls Washington and Colorado today. I will fight for regular Coloradans to restore balance and stop out-of-control politicians in Denver and Washington, D.C."
