Kevin McCarthy along with other Republicans Kick in Cash to Repeal Gas Tax
By Staff:
Federal disclosures documents show that Majority Leader, Kevin McCarthy donated $100,000 to repeals California’s gas tax. With the help several other politicos the total rises to $300,000. This is part of the Republican plan to motivate their voters to the polls. With a drop in registration and state locked in one party rule, November prospects look bleak for the GOP.
From the Sacramento Bee: “Among the other California Republicans donating to the ballot initiative campaign: Rep. Devin Nunes of Fresno, who kicked in $50,000 from his campaign account in January, and Riverside-area Rep. Ken Calvert, who donated $50,000 in March.
Rep. Mimi Walters also gave $115,000 from her campaign committee and political action committee to the ballot initiative campaign in January and February, despite facing what promises to be an expensive re-election campaign.
The Orange County Republican has made opposition to the gas tax increase a central talking point in recent months. Including her latest contributions, Walters has given a total of $169,000 to the repeal campaign since September.
Reps. Doug La Malfa of Shasta County and Steve Knight, who represents a chunk of Los Angeles County, also chipped in smaller sums in January.”
