Walker Stapleton on Tax Reform

I stopped the largest tax increase in state history

"As Colorado's treasurer, I stopped the largest tax increase in state history, and I led the fight against a single-payer health care system--and we won again," a smiling Stapleton says in the ad.

Then, Trump and Vice President Mike Pence smile and wave as they briefly cross the screen.

"I was the only (state) treasurer in the country with the courage to support Donald Trump's tax cuts, and as your next governor, I'll end these dangerous sanctuary city policies. I'll take the fight to the liberals and beat 'em again," Stapleton says.

A "Truth Test" report by 9News labeled as "false" the assertion about Stapleton standing alone in support of the Trump tax changes, citing examples of several other state treasurers who publicly backed the tax measure.
