Committee to Elect House Republicans Chairman Jason Osborne released the following statement after Democrats won a majority in the New Hampshire House:
“Democrats spent this campaign hiding from their own record. This spring they put the largest tax hike in New Hampshire history on the House floor. They voted against requiring a two-thirds vote before anyone can raise your taxes. And they have already filed bills to create new taxes next session. That is the majority New Hampshire just elected.
“So let’s be clear about what comes next. Every time this majority reaches for your paycheck, your property tax bill or your wallet at the register, Republicans will be there, and we will make sure every voter knows who voted for it. Every roll call. Every member. Every town.
“Not one Republican will vote for an income tax. Not one Republican will vote for a sales tax. Not one Republican will vote to gut the property tax cap. If Democrats want to tax New Hampshire, they will own it alone.
“Our members fought hard and I am proud of every one of them. This majority did not win the argument; they won a cycle. Two years is not a long time, and Granite Staters have short patience for politicians who raise their taxes. We start taking the House back tomorrow morning.”
