King Awarded Defender of Economic Freedom
 
Washington, D.C.—Congressman Steve King was awarded the Defender of Economic Freedom award by The Club for Growth, a free-market advocacy organization. The award honors Members of Congress who have a strong voting record on economic growth issues.
 
“With his high score, Congressman Steve King is a champion of the pro-growth agenda,” said Club for Growth President Pat Toomey. “As 1 of 55 congressional members to earn this award, Representative Steve King demonstrates a strong commitment to economic freedom and free market principles.”
 
“I appreciate this award, and will continue to encourage economic growth by working for lower taxes and cutting wasteful government spending,” said King. “Economic freedom leads to growth and prosperity which leads to more freedom for Americans.”
 
The score is based on legislative actions that promote a pro-economic growth agenda, including:
  • Making the Bush tax cuts permanent
  • Death tax repeal
  • Cutting and limiting government spending
  • Social Security reform with personal retirement accounts
  • Expanding free trade
  • Legal reform to end abusive lawsuits
  • Replacing the current tax code
  • School choice
  • Regulatory reform and deregulation
