Elrod’s campaign calls imply that Sean Shepard doesn’t support lower taxes.
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – Voters in the 7th District were surprised over the past 24 hours by automated calls and voicemails falsely claiming that Elrod was “the only candidate in the race” for smaller government and lower taxes.
Having participated in a handful of candidate forums with Libertarian Sean Shepard, Elrod and his campaign staff know that these statements are patently false. Libertarians, including Sean Shepard, consistently and uniformly call for smaller government and lower taxes.
“Is this dishonesty what citizens of the 7th District should expect from Jon Elrod and his staff?” asked Kurt St. Angelo, E-Communications Editor for the Libertarian Party of Indiana. “The citizens deserve a representative with more integrity.”
To correct his campaign’s misrepresentations, it is incumbent on Elrod to publicly retract its false statements and set the record straight – that small government and low taxes are the benchmarks of libertarianism.
