A Republican-aligned organization will use a rolling billboard before and during a town hall meeting Thursday to urge U.S. Rep. John Faso to support tax reform.
The mobile billboard is sponsored by the American Action Network's Middle-Class Growth Initiative. The group has been pushing Republican members of Congress, including a few in upstate New York, to support tax reform legislation.
Faso, R-Kinderhook, is scheduled to hold a forum from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Esopus Town Hall in Ulster Park. The event is cosponsored by Move Forward New York.
The billboard will circle the town hall ahead of the forum and during the event. It's the latest in a series of digital and radio ads paid for by American Action Network in support of tax reform.
"American families and job creators have been hurt by an outdated, unfair and complicated tax code for far too long. The time for Congress to fix our broken tax code is now," said Courtney Alexander, spokeswoman for American Action Network.
"We applaud Congressman John Faso for meeting with his constituents and urge him to continue making tax reforms that will lower rates for working families a priority."
Tax reform is one of several issues on the agenda when Congress returns to Washington in September. President Donald Trump delivered a speech on tax reform Wednesday in Springfield, Missouri.
