WASHINGTON, DC –Today, Congressman Jodey Arrington (TX-19)was named a Taxpayer Super Hero by the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste for his voting record to cut wasteful government spending and defend Texas taxpayers.
"It is an honor to be named a Taxpayer Super Hero by the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste,” said Rep. Arrington. “One of the greatest tragedies in U.S. history is how congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle have failed generations of Americans and jeopardized their future freedoms and opportunities by their lack of political courage to cut wasteful spending and rein in the federal government.”
“We applaud Rep. Arrington for his perfect 100 percent Taxpayer Super Hero rating in 2020,”said Council for Citizens Against Government Waste President Tom Schatz.“His courageous votes to cut wasteful spending and make government more accountable should serve as an example to other members, challenging them to protect the fiscal interests of American taxpayers. We have no doubt that Rep. Arrington will continue to help lead the effort to eradicate wasteful spending and bring fiscal sanity to Washington. His constituents should be very proud of him.”
“Jodey has been a consistent champion in the fight to protect taxpayer dollars,”said Ways and Means Ranking Member Kevin Brady.“As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, he’s helped us pass crucial legislation to lower taxes, cut wasteful spending, and fight government waste. The people of West Texas are fortunate to have a fighter like Jodey in their corner.”
According to the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW), since 1989, they have examined roll call votes to help identify which members of Congress have defended taxpayer interests and which have backed away from their promises of fiscal responsibility. The Congressional Ratingsevaluate important tax, spending, transparency, and accountability measures.
