Sole Arizonan Representative with 100%
lifetime rating
from Club for Growth and FreedomWorks
Washington—Today, Rep. Matt
Salmon (AZ-05) released the following statement regarding his perfect scores
from Club for Growth and FreedomWorks on his 113th Congress voting
record.
"I came back to Washington fully committed to making tough choices, cutting spending and balancing our budget. I am honored to be recognized for my voting record that reflects those tough fiscal decisions by the Club for Growth and FreedomWorks," said Rep. Matt Salmon. "During my time in Congress, I have represented Arizona's 5th Congressional District by voting to help eliminate this wasteful government spending and reduce our debt, and I will continue to do so. We must do this. It will take tough choices and honest debate on what our country can afford, but failure to act now will merely push those hard choices down the road and increase the burdens we leave for the next generation."
"With his score of 100%, and a lifetime score of 100%, Rep. Matt Salmon has demonstrated that he is a fighter for free markets and limited government," said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. "Congress looks for any excuse to spend our tax dollars and grow government, but in 2013, the people of Arizona's Fifth Congressional District had Rep. Salmon standing up for them in Washington. If we had more pro-economic growth fighters like him serving in Congress today, America would be a better place."
Rep. Salmon scored a 100% for Club for Growth's 2013 Congressional Scorecard and maintains a 100% lifetime rating.

Rep. Salmon is the sole Arizonan Representative with a 100% lifetime rating from both Club for Growth and FreedomWorks.
Club for Growth publishes an annual scorecard so Club members and the public can monitor the actions and the voting behavior of Members of Congress on economic growth issues. The Club conducted a comprehensive examination of each lawmaker's record on pro-growth policies and computed a score on a scale of 0 to 100. A score of 100 indicates the highest support for pro-growth policies. Those lawmakers scoring 90 or higher in 2010—and who also have a lifetime score of 90 or higher—receive the Defender of Economic Freedom award.
FreedomWorks identifies the most important votes on issues of economic freedom and scores Members of Congress based on their votes. They also use a scale of 100, thus the higher the score, the more often the Member is on the side fighting for lower taxes, less government and more freedom.
