Jim Rubens on Government Reform

Congress is addicted to spending to pay for pork

Kelly Ayotte broke her promise to be a fiscal conservative. During her term of office, national debt increased by $5 trillion. She voted in 2014 and 2015 for the fiscally-reckless, pork-stuffed CRomnibus and Omnibus budget bills, loading taxpayers with $1.5 trillion in debt. These votes are an unpardonable breach of a bedrock Republican and conservative principle.

I will fight for a constitutional balanced budget amendment.

Voluntary small dollar vouchers to fund federal elections

N.H. is a fiercely independent state, with a plurality of voters registered as "undeclared." The state has a strong tradition supporting reform. In 2000, the state chose John McCain as the Republican nominee after he made the "corruption in Washington" a central issue.

Mayday PAC works with candidates who support reform on both sides of the aisle. Mayday PAC will be communicating directly with voters with specific messages on political cronyism and reform.

Public elections financing with restricted campaign spending

A: Campaign spending limits have consistently failed. I therefore favor public elections financing for federal offices, where candidates may voluntarily opt-in and self restrict as to use of private campaign funding.
