Club For Growth Examines Brownback’s Record
On taxes, Social Security reform, school choice and tort reform Senator Brownback has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to fighting for American taxpayers. His record on trade, political speech and government regulation of business is generally pro-freedom, with few exceptions. He has, at times, been disappointing on controlling government spending.
