Sign the petition: Reject Ed Gillespie’s tax plan
Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie
Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie’s tax plan will give a $7,000 tax cut each year to the richest 1% of Virginians. It will cost $1.4 billion in state revenue each year. That sum could restore 4,000 teacher positions, help cover pre-school costs for 49,000 children and much more!
Gillespie’s entire tax plan is based on the false claim that tax breaks for the wealthy will “trickle-down” to working families.
Stand with Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund today! Sign the petition rejecting Ed Gillespie’s tax plan and calling on him to focus on investments in education and other critical services that benefit working families, not tax breaks for millionaires.

Your entire tax plan is based on a disproven model that assumes huge tax cuts for the wealthy will “trickle-down” to working families. Your tax plan will give a whopping $7,000 tax break each year to the richest 1% of Virginians while losing $1.4 billion in state revenue a year when fully phased in. For that money Virginia could rehire 4,000 teachers to reduce class sizes, help cover pre-school costs for 49,000 children, assist many Virginians with serious disabilities to stay in their homes and much more! I reject your “trickle-down” tax plan. Instead of tax cuts for millionaires, I urge you to focus on making sure the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share of taxes so we can invest in Virginia’s working families and our future.
