Curb government spending & give tax relief for our families

Maryland's working families deserve elected officials who work to save money by limiting government and providing them tax relief so that they are able to take home more of their hard earned tax dollars. Time and again my opponent has voted against giving Maryland's working families the relief they deserve to balance their household budgets. As your U.S. Senator, I will work to curb government spending and give tax relief for our families. Source: Campaign website, pipkinforsenate.com Aug 11, 2004
