Today, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste Political Action Committee (CCAGW PAC) announced its endorsement of Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) for re-election to the Senate and Reps. Garret Graves (R-La.), Clay Higgins (R-La.), Mike Johnson (R-La.), Julia Letlow (R-La.), and Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) for re-election to the House of Representatives.

CCAGW PAC based its endorsements on the candidates’ lifetime score in CCAGW’s 2021 Congressional Ratings.

Sen. Kennedy has a lifetime rating of 95 percent, making him a “Taxpayer Hero,” and was named a “Taxpayer Super Hero” in 2021 with a perfect score of 100 percent. Reps. Graves has a lifetime rating of 93 percent; Rep. Higgins has a lifetime rating of 94 percent; Rep. Johnson has a lifetime rating of 97 percent; and Whip Scalise has a lifetime rating of a 94 percent, making them all a lifetime “Taxpayer Hero.” Rep. Letlow has a lifetime rating of 100 percent, making her a lifetime “Taxpayer Super Hero.” Reps. Graves and Johnson, and Whip Scalise all scored a perfect 100 percent in 2021, making them a “Taxpayer Super Hero.”

“During their tenures in the Senate and House, Sen. Kennedy, Reps. Graves, Higgins, Johnson, and Letlow, and Whip Scalise have been strong and reliable votes to curb government waste and reform Washington,” said CCAGW PAC Chairman Tom Schatz. “On top of their impressive voting records, they fought for increased accountability and transparency while opposing efforts to massively increase federal spending and adopt burdensome new regulations. I urge their constituents to re-elect them to Congress.”

CCAGW PAC is affiliated with the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, a 501(c)(4) organization. CCAGW PAC’s mission is to support political candidates who will fight to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government and represent the best interests of taxpayers.
