Fact Check: Did Chris Pappas vote to raise taxes 68 times?

Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.


Claimant: John E. Sununu (R)


Claim: Rep. Chris Pappas “voted to raise taxes 68 times. Every tax vote he’s made was to raise taxes.”


Rating: FALSE


Explanation: Sununu’s 68-vote total included numerous procedural votes and measures that were not primarily tax increases. PolitiFact also found that Pappas has voted for tax cuts and sponsored legislation aimed at lowering taxes, contradicting the claim that every tax vote he cast increased taxes. (politifact.com)
