Peter Crosby, on the record
I have no votes in Congress to count for Crosby, so the grade above comes from this list: what Crosby has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
-
In the Salt Lake Tribune candidate Q&A he said Congress should remove the broad tariff regime.
“remove the broad tariff regime that has hurt every person and family in our communities”
- By the test I use for votes
- With liberty
Broad tariffs are against liberty on free markets, so opposing them is on the with side.

At the Oct. 13 debate he said Congress can close corporate tax loopholes.
“we can close corporate tax loopholes”
- By the test I use for votes
- Against liberty
Closing a named corporate tax loophole raises corporate taxes, which is against liberty on free markets.
