On Tax Day, Democrats Gwen Graham and Philip Levine Remain Silent On Plans To Raise Taxes On Florida Families

On this Tax Day, Democrats – both nationally and in Florida – are working hard to make sure working families pay more in taxes.

Florida Democrat gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum recently proposed a massive $1 billion tax hike on Florida businesses. This plan would kill jobs and force companies to leave the state.

Floridians know firsthand that this approach is not the recipe for success, having seen the positive impact of GOP tax reform and a reduced tax burden under Gov. Rick Scott.

Beginning this month, Florida Gulf Power customers will receive $103 million back in lower energy prices because of federal tax cuts. In addition, as a result of tax reform, Florida’s businesses, both large and small alike, have announced plans to raise wages and bonuses for their workers.

On top of this recent progress, lower taxes and pro-growth policies under Gov. Rick Scott have fostered a booming economy in Florida, creating nearly 1.5 million new jobs.

But, while national Democrats and Andrew Gillum have gone all-in on higher taxes, Gwen Graham and Philip Levine, have thus far dodged questions about whether they’ll stand up for Florida taxpayers and workers. On this Tax Day, Gwen Graham and Philip Levine owe voters a clear answer.
