Dave Marsden: The Truth About His Tax Record

crystalclearconservative — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:50:25 +0000

Dave Marsden, candidate for the Virginia State Senate in the 37^th District recently sent out a direct mail piece to voters that was a little misleading. Misleading…how so? Well, the mailing claimed that Marsden was a low-tax stalwart. What this mailer failed to mention was that Marsden has quite the penchant for supporting massive tax increases.

Marsden voted in 2008 for a $2 billion tax increase, and this tax increase would have made it more costly to buy a home or a car, and would have increased the sales tax in Northern Virginia (even though, Northern Virginia would have received less in return from Richmond). Source: SB 6009

How will Marsden (who didn’t even live in the district until he recently decided to rent a room) be good on tax policies, when his record as a member of the House of Delegates proves otherwise?

Carpetbagger Finally Rents Room in 37th State Senate District

Del. Dave Marsden, who is running for the Democrats in the 37^th State Senate District, has finally found a place to live within the district. According to The Washington Post, Marsden is renting a room at the house of one of his supporters. Well, at least, he found a place to live, but the question remains: how well does Marsden know the issues that impact the 37^th District?

Carpetbagger Alert: Del. Dave Marsden Declares Candidacy for VA-37

Well, well, well…it has only been a matter of time before I would have to write about another carpetbagging candidate in our midst. In my home State Senate district (VA-37), Del. Dave Marsden, who does not live in the 37^th has declared his candidacy for the open State Senate seat. The Washington Post’s Virginia Politics blog reported this on Thursday, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the matter.

First and foremost, Marsden only won by a whopping 209 votes in his House of Delegates re-election bid. Evidently, the residents of the 41^st District felt that he did not do a great job for his margin of victory to be so close.

Now, Marsden feels he is ready for a promotion to be a State Senator in a district where he does not reside. What does he know about the issues impacting our district?

This is just another prime example of a carpetbagging candidate at its finest. He’ll do anything to win (check out NLS for his true feelings of Marsden), even if that means moving into another district.
