Challenger: Blumenthal Votes to Hit CT with New Taxes as Families, Businesses Struggle

Connecticut families and businesses are suffering under Democrats’ burdensome policies that have driven record
inflation and energy prices, according to a campaign statement by Republican Senate candidate Leora Levy. Levy, who is running to unseat U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, said that once again Blumenthal has rubber-stamped Biden’s out-of-touch agenda, supporting “The Manchin-Sinema Build Back Inflation Better Act” or as the Democrats call it:, the “Inflation Reduction Act” which will cost Americans more – from increased energy prices to a hit on working Americans’ 401Ks. Levy this week released the following statement about Blumenthal’s vote, which she charged will raise taxes on the people of Connecticut: “Biden-Blumenthal inflation is hurting Connecticut, and this latest behemoth spending package is another example of Democrats putting extremist Progressive policies over the wellbeing
of the American people. “Biden pledged to not raise taxes on anyone making under $400,000 a year, but he played
to special interests and broke that promise, and Blumenthal went right along with him. Blumenthal voted to raise taxes on all middle-class Americans! “We will also see higher energy costs, reduced 401ks, 30,000 fewer private sector jobs, and reduced manufacturing and production of goods in America as this bill targets American companies.
“Even more outrageous, Blumenthal laughs off the fact that the bill creates 87,000 new IRS agents set on shaking down the American people. “It’s clear that career politicians like Dick Blumenthal fight for special interests instead of the people. It’s time for new leadership, and I promise to be a voice for Connecticut families, for all American families, small business owners and taxpayers, for the American People against the entrenched interest in Washington, D.C.”
