Dear John,

 

This week, one of my fears came true: Democrat leaders are bringing back earmarks.

Ten years ago, then-Speaker Boehner got rid of earmarks for good – or so we thought. It was a bipartisan priority to eliminate the swampy practice of funding lawmakers’ pet projects in exchange for their support of the priorities of party leadership.

Pelosi and Schumer are bringing it back, which should concern all of us.

Unfortunately, I saw this coming. That’s why I included earmark eliminations in my Roadmap to Congressional Reform last month.

Americans overwhelmingly despise pork barrel spending because we see it for what it is. It enables career politicians and further separates Americans from the lawmaking process. It took the Democrats less than a month in power to betray the American people and bring back earmarks.

Now more than ever, we need lawmakers of integrity, men and women willing to stand up for the American people and not kowtow to party bosses and special interests.

Will you help me?

We must take back the majority next fall. We must elect conservative lawmakers who are committed to getting rid of earmarks, burying them so far that no power-hungry Speaker can ever bring them back.

Your donations help me fight back against the progressives trying to push me out of office and eliminate your voice in Congress. Every dollar helps in the fight to preserve our values and ensure that leftist policies do not destroy everything President Trump and Republican leaders built in the last four years.

I’m honored to serve you in Congress, and I assure you that my vote will always belong to the people of Oklahoma’s First District, not special interests.

Thank you,

Kevin Hern
