Chuck Morse Blasts Democrats' Call for Income Tax, Vows to Protect New Hampshire's Fiscal Freedom

November 28, 2023

Salem, NH - Today, former Senate President Chuck Morse, a leading candidate for Governor of New Hampshire, condemned recent calls by Democratic lawmakers to introduce an income tax in the Granite State. Morse issued a resolute pledge to the citizens of New Hampshire: "I've stopped the Democrats' income tax schemes before, and I will do so again as your next Governor."

"Make no mistake, if Democrats gain control of the Corner Office and the Legislature in 2024, they will impose an income tax on Granite State families," said Chuck Morse.

"It's a clear and present danger to the fiscal freedom we cherish in our state. An income tax would burden our hard-working citizens, stifle economic growth, and jeopardize our status as one of the few states with no broad-based income tax.

"I am committed to preserving the New Hampshire Advantage and the freedom from state income taxes that our citizens enjoy. We have a strong tradition of low taxes and limited government that works for the people, not against the people. I will stand resolutely against any attempt to impose an income tax on our state, and I will continue to advocate for policies that promote economic growth and individual liberty."

Background:
Chuck Morse has a long history of advocating for fiscal responsibility and opposing tax increases. During his tenure as the longest-serving Senate President in New Hampshire history, he played a pivotal role in balancing the budget, cutting taxes for small businesses, phasing out the interest & dividends tax, and providing property tax relief for working families. His leadership has contributed to New Hampshire's status as the leader in economic freedom, boasting the lowest poverty rate in the nation and being the top state for taxpayer return on investment.


Chuck Morse's campaign for Governor has gained significant momentum as he champions conservative values and a vision for New Hampshire's future that includes responsible fiscal policies, educational freedom, and the protection of Granite Staters from the burdens of an income tax.
