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.
