Every time Amy votes, you pay.
Affordability & Taxes
Amy Klobuchar has spent years in Washington voting the wrong way when Minnesota families needed relief the most.
Minnesotans already face some of the highest taxes in the country. Nearly two-thirds say state taxes are too high, and more than half say the cost of living is a serious problem in their own household.
But Amy Klobuchar voted against the 2017 tax law, which the Treasury Department said would increase take-home pay for 90 percent of Americans. Then in 2025, she voted against another major tax cut.
Amy also voted twice to move forward with cap-and-trade legislation that analysts warned would drive up fuel and electricity costs and put hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk.
Minnesota families are paying more for just about everything. Amy Klobuchar’s record in Washington hasn’t made that any easier.
