Hudson Presented 2015 Taxpayers’ Friend Award
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) received an “A” in the National Taxpayers Union’s (NTU) 2015 Congressional Rating and was awarded the 2015 “Taxpayers’ Friend Award” for his strong support of responsible tax and spending policies.
 
“I’m honored to be recognized for my work to cut wasteful government spending and reduce taxes for all Americans,” said Rep. Hudson. “As your representative, I’ll continue to fight to advance a bold, pro-growth agenda that grows the economy and secures a future for our children that doesn’t leave them buried in debt.”
 
“Winning the Taxpayers’ Friend Award is no easy feat. It takes a daily commitment to cast principled votes that put the Americans who pay government’s bills first,” said Pete Sepp, President of NTU. “Congressman Hudson has proven he has what it takes to help make Washington work for taxpayers again. Congressman Hudson’s pro- taxpayer score of 84 percent was one of the best on all of Capitol Hill. Through his consistent voting record, Congressman Hudson showed his colleagues the way to lower deficits, less burdensome taxes, and a stronger economy. If every Member of Congress had voted as conscientiously as Congressman Hudson did last year, taxpayers could have looked forward to a much more prosperous future.”
 
NTU has recognized Members of Congress since 1979 who annually earn high voting scores to qualify them for the “Taxpayers’ Friend Award.” Every roll call vote affecting fiscal policy is analyzed by NTU and the “Taxpayer Score” is based on how each Member of Congress has stood up for controlling federal spending, taxes, debt and regulations. In 2015, 141 Senate and 267 House votes were included in NTU’s scorecard. Only 14 Senate and 43 House Members won the award for that year.
 
The NTU annual rating has been referred to as the gold standard for fiscal scorecards, since it encompasses all votes that affect taxpayers. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have praised the consistent standard and integrity that the “Taxpayers’ Friend Award” represents, and the rating continues to serve as a benchmark for fiscal accountability.
