NO NEW TAX PLEDGE
The No New Tax Pledge is a public commitment by candidates and elected officials to oppose any effort to increase taxes.
The pledge affirms that government should prioritize responsible spending and fiscal discipline rather than raising taxes to solve budget challenges. It allows for revenue-neutral tax reform, provided any increase is fully offset by an equal or greater tax reduction.
By signing the pledge, leaders make a clear promise to protect taxpayers and oppose net tax increases during their term in office.
