Candidate signers include: two Democrats, five Libertarians, 115 Republicans, and one unaffiliated candidate.
"At Americans for Prosperity-North Carolina, we believe that hard work, determination, and personal responsibility are the key ingredients needed to achieve genuine economic prosperity in the free market," said State Director Dallas Woodhouse. "These pledges reflect those beliefs."
Specifically, the series of seven pledges asks a candidate to commit to the following:
•Oppose and vote against any increase in statewide tax rates
•Oppose and vote against "tax reform" legislation that is not "revenue neutral".
•Support a Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights Constitutional Amendment
•Oppose any legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in government revenue.
•Support removing the "cap" on the number of charter schools allowed in North Carolina
•Support a Constitutional Amendment to restrict eminent domain abuse and support reforming annexation laws
•Oppose taxpayer funding of political campaigns.
Candidates were free to sign all, some or none of these pledges.
Woodhouse added: "It is important that citizens know where candidates for the General Assembly stand on important free market legislation. With the creation of this website, and our aggressive citizen education efforts, we look forward to helping the citizens of North Carolina become better informed on free market issues leading them to make wise decisions in November."
