Holly Adams, a candidate for Ohio's First Congressional District, has signed the No New Taxes pledge, making her the only contender in the race to formally commit to opposing tax increases. Adams stated that this pledge represents a firm promise to district taxpayers during a period of economic strain. "At a time when families are struggling with higher prices, inflation, and an uncertain economy, the last thing Washington should be doing is raising taxes," Adams said.
Adams, who describes herself as a lifelong Ohioan, Christian, mother of two, and business leader, connected the pledge to her private sector experience of nearly three decades. She emphasized that balancing budgets and controlling costs were essential in her business career, and she believes the same principles should apply to government. "We need to make America affordable again and it starts with a lower tax burden," Adams added. "We don't have a revenue problem—we have a spending problem."
The candidate argued that Congress must prioritize fiscal discipline, eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, and respect taxpayers. Her campaign platform, detailed on her official website at https://www.hollyadamsforcongress.com, includes a focus on economic opportunity, protecting parental rights, defending faith and freedom, and restoring common sense to Congress. Adams stated that her anti-tax stance is linked to broader goals of economic growth, energy independence, and congressional accountability.
"As the only candidate in this race willing to put this promise in writing, I'm showing voters exactly where I stand," Adams said. She positioned herself as a representative who would fight for Ohio families rather than support what she described as Washington's failures. The pledge signing underscores a key policy division in the upcoming election, with Adams framing tax policy as a direct reflection of fiscal responsibility and representation.
