John Garamendi Big Government Agenda

June 22, 2012

Today, National Journal is out with their House Ranking chart which exposes John Garamendi’s true big-government agenda.

Key Findings:

• Garamendi is more liberal than Nancy Pelosi

• Garamendi exceeds Pelosi’s liberalism on both economic and foreign policies issues; they tied on social issues

• Overall, Garamendi is the 24th most liberal member of Congress – Pelosi is 79th

• That makes Garamendi more liberal than 94 percent of his colleagues, out of 430 ranked

• Only six of California’s 53 House members are rated as more liberal than Garamendi

NRCC Comment: “Now we know why John Garamendi is recycling TV ads from past campaigns and running them in February. He’s desperate to hide his extreme record from California voters, who aren’t interested in being represented by someone with a record that makes liberal icon Nancy Pelosi look like a moderate.” – NRCC Spokesman Daniel Scarpinato
