DSCC Launches NEW Digital Ad Targeting Cornyn for Raising Taxes on Gold Star Families

“John Cornyn voted for a tax law that HIKED taxes on Texas Gold Star families, forcing some military families to pay thousands of dollars more in taxes on their survivor benefits.”

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is launching a new digital ad today to make sure Texans know Senator John Cornyn voted for a painful tax hike on Gold Star families when he voted in 2017 for the reckless Republican tax law. The ad will run as part of a five-figure digital buy across battleground states.

• CNN: Tax overhaul means some Gold Star families paying much higher taxes on survivor benefits
• CBS News: Gold Star widow “shocked” by new tax bill on sons’ survivor benefits
• Washington Examiner: Provision of GOP overhaul is creating big tax hikes for Gold Star families

From Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Press Secretary Stewart Boss: “Senator John Cornyn voted to give tax handouts to wealthy CEOs and huge corporate special interests while hiking taxes on Texas families who have lost a loved one in military service. We’ll make sure voters don’t forget that Cornyn helped pass a reckless law forcing Gold Star families to pay higher taxes on their survivor benefits.”
