NRCC TV Ad Highlights Debt and Government Waste Supported by Matheson

Washington – Two years ago, Jim Matheson decided against voting for the best interests of his Utah constituents and voted instead to green-light Nancy Pelosi’s big-spending, big-government solution to a stagnant economy. The National Republican Congressional Committee has released a new ad reminding Matheson’s constituents that he decided to vote in lockstep with Democratic leadership in passing a stimulus package that has proven to do little to alleviate an economic crisis. Instead, the failed stimulus has only piled on to the national debt and has done very little to stem rising unemployment rates.

“Jim Matheson has consistently put the interests of Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party ahead of his district, especially since he voted for the failed stimulus bill two years ago,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “Two years later, Americans are still waiting for promised job creation, but all Matheson’s failed stimulus gave them was more debt and government waste. He should have learned his lesson, but Matheson, to this day, continues to support job-destroying, big-spending Democrat policies.”
