Club for Growth on Gary Johnson | United Liberty | Free Market - Individual Liberty - Limited Government

Club for Growth on Gary Johnson | United Liberty | Free Market - Individual Liberty - Limited Government:

"The Club for Growth notes that ... Gary Johnson received at 'B' on each of the Cato Institute’s biannual Fiscal Policy Report Card on America’s Governors (1996, 1998, 2000 and 2002). However, these scores don’t do him justice.

"Johnson’s record on taxes is described by the Club as 'excellent,' noting that he pushed back against all forms of tax hikes....

"Johnson earns the title of 'one of the most anti-spending governors in New Mexico history.' The Club notes that he vetoed 742 bills during his eight years....

"Johnson’s record on regulation is impressive. The white paper notes that he vetoed legislation to increase the minimum wage, which is often a barrier to employment, and deregulated New Mexico’s electric industry.... Johnson also opposed cap-and-trade and Net Neutrality.

"The Club also points out Johnson’s support for school choice, enacting tort reform and opposing barriers to political speech."
