2010 Taxpayers Friend Award is for consistently voting to reduce the burden on Americas taxpayers
Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON DC -- For the second time in a month U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady has been applauded by one of the nations largest tax watchdog groups for his fight to reduce Washington spending. The National Taxpayers Union has awarded him the 2010 Taxpayers Friend Award.
When taxpayers of the eighth district needed an ally they could count on to fight for them day in and day out in Congress Kevin Brady was there said NTU Executive Vice President Pete Sepp. On issue after issue in 2010 from health care to taxes to controlling federal spending Congressman Brady was a tireless advocate for limited government. Our members in the eighth district look forward to his leadership on fiscal policy in 2011.
NTU also recently applauded Brady as having the fifth largest spending cut agenda in Congress.
I thank NTU for their hard work on behalf of overburdened taxpayers and I will continue to fight for a smaller disciplined more efficient federal government said Brady who is one of just 79 members of Congress to receive an A for his voting record on issues of importance to taxpayers. Shrinking the size of this bloated government is the best way to get a handle on these dangerous debts and deficits and put America back on the path to economic prosperity.
Brady is the top Republican on the Joint Economic Committee and a senior member of the House Ways & Means Committee.
