ive days left to vote for the 2025 Porker of the Year.
I hope you=E2=80=99ll take a minute and cast your vote. It=E2=80=99s an imp=
ortant way you=E2=80=99re helping CAGW hold politicians accountable for the=
ir wasteful spending.
The deadline is December 31, 2025. More details are in my note below.
Thank you for all you do to support CAGW.

----------------------------------------
John,

t for fiscal responsibility this year.

ed supporters to help select the=C2=A0Porker of the Year=E2=80=94the public=
official who has done the most to squander taxpayer dollars.
Now, it=E2=80=99s your turn to weigh in and help us determine who should re=

Here are a few of this year=E2=80=99s contenders:
=E2=9D=8CChicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, for demanding nearly $500 million i=
n new taxes that would push Chicago even further into economic freefall.
=E2=9D=8CPennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, for raiding the commonwealth=
=E2=80=99s Rainy Day Fund and forcing local school districts to raise prope=
rty taxes to pay for his reckless spending that will increase Pennsylvania=
=E2=80=99s budget deficit by billions.
=E2=9D=8C=C2=A0Senator Chuck Schumer, a perennial porker of the year candid=
ate, for causing the record-setting government shutdown by trying to conjur=
e $1.5 trillion in wasteful spending and attempting to make temporary healt=
h insurance subsidies for families making up to $500,000 a year last foreve=
r.
If you=E2=80=99d like to see the full list, you can do so here. [[link removed]

wasteful programs, and hold elected officials accountable when they misuse =
taxpayer dollars.

Porker of the Year for committing the most egregious government waste, fra=

John,
I wanted to reshare my message from earlier this week – there are five days left to vote for the 2025 Porker of the Year.
I hope you’ll take a minute and cast your vote. It’s an important way you’re helping CAGW hold politicians accountable for their wasteful spending.
The deadline is December 31, 2025. More details are in my note below.
Thank you for all you do to support CAGW.
Tom Schatz
President
Citizens Against Government Waste
[Vote for the 2025 Porker of the Year]([link removed])
----------------------------------------
John,
This is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in the fight for fiscal responsibility this year.
Every December, Citizens Against Government Waste turns to our most dedicated supporters to help select the Porker of the Year—the public official who has done the most to squander taxpayer dollars.
Now, it’s your turn to weigh in and help us determine who should receive this dubious honor in 2025. [[link removed]]
[Vote for 2025’s Porker of the Year]([link removed])
Here are a few of this year’s contenders:
❌Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, for demanding nearly $500 million in new taxes that would push Chicago even further into economic freefall.
❌Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, for raiding the commonwealth’s Rainy Day Fund and forcing local school districts to raise property taxes to pay for his reckless spending that will increase Pennsylvania’s budget deficit by billions.
❌ Senator Chuck Schumer, a perennial porker of the year candidate, for causing the record-setting government shutdown by trying to conjure $1.5 trillion in wasteful spending and attempting to make temporary health insurance subsidies for families making up to $500,000 a year last forever.
If you’d like to see the full list, you can do so here. [[link removed]]
[Vote for 2025’s Porker of the Year]([link removed])
John, I hope you’ll take just a moment to tell us who you believe deserves this regrettable distinction.
Please don’t wait—the voting deadline is December 31, which is fast approaching, and we want to make sure your voice is counted.
Your steadfast support empowers CAGW to expose reckless spending, call out wasteful programs, and hold elected officials accountable when they misuse taxpayer dollars.
Cast your vote today and tell us which public official deserves to be named Porker of the Year for committing the most egregious government waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. [[link removed]]

John,
I wanted to reshare my message from earlier this week – there are five days left to vote for the 2025 Porker of the Year.
I hope you’ll take a minute and cast your vote. It’s an important way you’re helping CAGW hold politicians accountable for their wasteful spending.
The deadline is December 31, 2025. More details are in my note below.
Thank you for all you do to support CAGW.

----------------------------------------
John,
This is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in the fight for fiscal responsibility this year.
Every December, Citizens Against Government Waste turns to our most dedicated supporters to help select the Porker of the Year—the public official who has done the most to squander taxpayer dollars.
Now, it’s your turn to weigh in and help us determine who should receive this dubious honor in 2025. [[link removed]]
[Vote for 2025’s Porker of the Year]([link removed])
Here are a few of this year’s contenders:
❌Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, for demanding nearly $500 million in new taxes that would push Chicago even further into economic freefall.
❌Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, for raiding the commonwealth’s Rainy Day Fund and forcing local school districts to raise property taxes to pay for his reckless spending that will increase Pennsylvania’s budget deficit by billions.
❌ Senator Chuck Schumer, a perennial porker of the year candidate, for causing the record-setting government shutdown by trying to conjure $1.5 trillion in wasteful spending and attempting to make temporary health insurance subsidies for families making up to $500,000 a year last forever.
If you’d like to see the full list, you can do so here. [[link removed]]

John, I hope you’ll take just a moment to tell us who you believe deserves this regrettable distinction.
Please don’t wait—the voting deadline is December 31, which is fast approaching, and we want to make sure your voice is counted.
Your steadfast support empowers CAGW to expose reckless spending, call out wasteful programs, and hold elected officials accountable when they misuse taxpayer dollars.
Cast your vote today and tell us which public official deserves to be named Porker of the Year for committing the most egregious government waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement. [[link removed]]
