Tim Murphy Has a Proven Record Defending Taxpayers

Tim Murphy has a proven record advancing the values of southwestern Pennsylvania in Congress. Tim is taking on the liberal Obama-Pelosi agenda, which has brought reckless spending, out of control debt, high unemployment and the disastrous government takeover of healthcare.
 
Murphy is 100% pro life, pro 2nd amendment and has never supported a tax increase in Congress. He's opposed the Wall Street bailouts, fought ObamaCare, actively worked to stop the job-killing cap and trade tax, and voted "NO" on the trillion dollar stimulus. Tim Murphy has voted to ban earmarks, cut trillions in wasteful spending and also supported a balanced budget amendment to force Washington to live within its means.
