NEWS FROM Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. Second Congressional District of Maryland 1407 York Road, Suite 304 Lutherville, Maryland 2 1 093 315 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CONTACT: Richard Cross February 20, 1 996 202-225-306 1 EHRLICH NAMED MOST FISC ALL Y-CONSER VA TIVE MARYLAND REPRESENTA TIVE The National Taxpayers Union (NTU) has named Congressman Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. (R- 2nd., MD) the most fiscally-conservative member of Maryland’s congressional delegation. According to NTU, Congressman Ehrlich voted to reduce the federal budget deficit by $3 1 .27 billion— the largest amount of any of Maryland’s federal representatives. Additionally, Ehrlich was one of only four Maryland House members who voted to decrease rather than increase net federal spending. NTU’s figure is a compilation based on the total number of House votes cast through December 22, 1995. “While I am not surprised by NTU’s rating, I welcome it as very good news,” Ehrlich stated. “I ran for Congress pledged to end the irresponsible, free-spending ways of past Congresses. NTU’s rating is proof-positive that I have kept my promise to the people of the Second Congressional District.”
