Taxin’ Tom Nelson gets dubious distinction from DCCC

April 8, 2016

tax hikeIt’s been less than 24 hours since Tom Nelson announced his campaign for Congress in WI-08 and the DCCC has already designated him to the bottom-tier of their disastrous “Red to Blue” program.  That means Tax Hike Tommy is now part of an elite class that that went a perfect 0 for 12 last election cycle.

Here’s a few reasons why Tax Hike Tommy won’t break that losing streak for the DCCC in November.

  • Tax Hike Tommy raised taxes and fees by nearly $3 billion in the state legislature
  • Tax Hike Tommy raised taxes on drivers
  • Tax Hike Tommy raised taxes on hospitals
  • Tax Hike Tommy raised property taxes on homeowners
  • Tax Hike Tommy raised taxes on business owners
  • Tax Hike Tommy raised taxes on smokers
  • Tax Hike Tommy raised tuition on students
  • Tax Hike Tommy raised fees on gun owners

With all of Tax Hike Tommy’s hard work raising taxes, it’s no wonder he accepted a taxpayer-funded pay raise.  Regrettably for Tax Hike Tommy, that taxin’ hypocrisy is why he will be unelectable in November.

NRCC Comment: “Don’t be fooled by the DCCC listing Tom Nelson in the bottom-tier level of their disastrous Red to Blue program, which went a perfect zero for twelve in 2014.  Tom Nelson’s lust for tax hikes at a time when he accepted taxpayer-funded pay raises makes him unelectable in November.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
