CHAFFETZ PLEDGES EARMARK REFORM
Refuses to seek, support, or enact earmarks in 2009
On April 24, 2008 Jason Chaffetz, Republican Candidate for
Utah’s Third Congressional District, pledged to support
earmark reform by signing the FreedomWorks Earmark Pledge.
The statement reads, “Therefore, I, Jason Chaffetz, in my
capacity as Congressman, do hereby pledge that I will
personally support spending reform in Congress by refusing
to seek, support, or enact earmarks during the
appropriations process for fiscal year 2009.”
“Earmark reform is a critical component to reforming
Washington and fixing the mismanaged appropriations
process. If I am fortunate enough to win, I will join
other fiscal conservatives in the fight to fix this broken
system,” said Jason Chaffetz.
