PHOENIXVILLE, PA – Steve Welch, Republican candidate for Pennsylvania’s 6th Congressional District, announced today that he signed the Americans for Tax Reform’s (ATR) “Taxpayer Protection Pledge.” The pledge states that if elected to Congress, Welch will not raise taxes on hardworking families and businesses.

“By making this pledge, I am promising the residents of Pennsylvania’s 6th Congressional District that I will make the tough decisions required to reign in the reckless spending going on in Congress and work to create an atmosphere where long-term growth can occur,” said Welch.
