Tim Walz Continues to Support Washington Democrats’ Reckless Agenda

December 21, 2011

Good Morning,

If there was any doubt that Tim Walz supports Nancy Pelosi’s tax-and-spend agenda, another sign will come this weekend as Pelosi visits Minnesota to fundraise for Tim Walz and House Democrats.

Of course he hasn’t made his close ties to Pelosi a secret…

  • Walz votes with Nancy Pelosi 90% of the time. (Washington Post Votes Database)
  • Supported Pelosi’s $1 trillion government takeover of healthcare.
  • Supported Pelosi’s $800 billion failed stimulus.
  • Supported Pelosi’s cap-and-trade energy tax that would have burdened working families with thousands of dollars in new energy costs.
  • Supported Pelosi’s 2009 $450 billion omnibus bill that contained over 9,000 earmarks.
  • Supported Pelosi’s 2010 $1.1 trillion omnibus bill that contained over 5,000 earmarks.


“Tim Walz is still voting in lock step with Nancy Pelosi’s spending and borrowing sprees, and voting with the toxic minority leader 90% of the time will surely cost him critical re-election support. While Tim Walz and Nancy Pelosi continue to ignore the economic consequences of their unrestrained taxing, spending and borrowing polices, Minnesota middle-class families are suffering the catastrophic results for it.” –NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
