This just in — below is a video of a signing ceremony that just took place locally in the 1st Senate District where conservative Assemblyman Ted Gaines signed the Americans for Tax Reform No New Taxes Pledge. On hand to speak at the press conference, and to sign the pledge as witnesses, were David Wolfe from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, and Lew Uhler, head of the National Tax Limitation Committee. We just checked in with Americans for Tax Reform, and Gaines is the only candidate running who has signed the pledge. Roger Niello rather infamously would not signed the pledge as an Assemblyman and perhaps no so coincidentally ended up being the deciding vote in support of the largest tax increase in the history of any American state. Former Assemblywoman Barbara Alby did sign the pledge in her campaigns for the Assembly, and we presume she will do the same in her Senate run, though she has not done so yet. (according to the ATR website, which is kept up to date).
Here is the video:
