U.S. Senator James Lankford’s support of lower taxes and putting limits on government has landed him the “Taxpayers’ Friend Award” from the National Taxpayers Union (NTU). Lankford is ranked first among the 15 Senators given the award.
“Only lawmakers with a voting record that is the best-of-the-best will earn NTU’s Taxpayers’ Friend Award. Lankford has demonstrated a tireless commitment to supporting taxpayers’ interests in Washington and a dedication to solving the government’s tax-and-spend problems with action rather than just words. Fixing America’s budget problems takes hard work, and Lankford has been doing that work every single day,” said NTU President Pete Sepp.
Lankford is known for pointing out egregious federal spending in his Federal Fumbles report. He’s also supported legislation to streamline government and supported the 2017 tax cuts and reforms.
“I’m grateful to NTU and its continued commitment to ensure American taxpayers know that some in Congress are still focused on legislation that will lower taxes, remove duplicative and wasteful spending, and promote economic freedom,” said Lankford. “These are all principals I seek to achieve with every vote I take, and I will continue to support legislation that eliminates federal waste, cuts taxes, and fixes the broken budget process.”
