Chris Wright urges Kehoe to suspend gasoline tax


(From the Chris Wright Campaign)

In response to soaring fuel prices fueled by international conflict, Chris Wright, Republican Candidate for State Representative District 160, urges Governor Kehoe to temporarily suspend the state’s gasoline tax, aiming to provide immediate financial relief to families and businesses across Missouri.

“Our residents are already being gouged to death by their utility rates and now are facing unprecedented pressure at the pump following the outbreak of conflict in Iran,” said Wright. 








“This temporary suspension is a direct measure to leave more money in the pockets of hardworking families, lower shipping costs for businesses, and ensure that our residents can continue to travel for work and essential needs.”

Other states, including Georgia and Indiana, have already implemented similarmsuspensions to help ease the burden on motorists. The intention of the recommended suspension is to combat the immediate, sharp spike in energy costs that has occurred over the past several weeks. 

While the state cannot control international oil markets, this action is a proactive step to alleviate the pain caused by higher costs at the gas station.

Chris is a stand up guy, level headed, and the best candidate for the 160th.

Guys, even though Trump annihilated Iran's Nuclear facility a year ago, or whenever that was, they are TOTALLY a threat again! Yeah that's right, these people HATE your freedoms! Listen to Netenyahu, I mean Trump, they are SO close to creating nuclear missiles, and the second they finish the missiles they are shooting them OUR way!!! No thought put into it at all, you see these people have no critical thinking skills, sure they have enough brains to create a nuclear missile, but not enough to understand basic military operations and consequences from starting a Nuclear war.
Guys! Israel, I mean the US needs to stop these savages! Israel, I mean the US is under serious threat! Iran is the last stepping stone to total control in the middle east, Israel, I mean we need this more than you need to afford gas and groceries!
