Congressman Tim Huelskamp has received the “Taxpayers’ Friend Award” from the National Taxpayers Union (NTU). This award is given to members of Congress for consistently voting for limited government. The Rating is based on every roll call vote affecting federal taxes, spending, debt, and significant regulations. This included 274 House and 127 Senate votes taken through January 1, 2013. Over that time, Congressman Huelskamp was one of only 55 members of Congress to receive an A rating from the NTU.

Congressman Huelskamp Released this statement after receiving the award:
“I am honored to receive the ‘Taxpayers’ Friend Award.’ Kansans elected me to fight Washington big spenders, and rein in our debt. With the future of our country on the line, we have no choice but to cut spending and reduce our debt. I look forward to continuing the effort to bring common sense back to Washington.”
