Script of "Hulshof's D.C. Record" (TV)

ANNOUNCER [v/o]: A conservative group rates Congressman Hulshof's big spending record in Washington "unfriendly" to taxpayers.

(Text on screen: Citizens Against Government Waste)

He's voted for 11,000 wasteful earmarks, including the "Bridge to Nowhere."

(Text on screen: $200 Million)

Conservative groups give him a failing grade on wasteful spending.

(Text on screen: Citizens Against Government Waste, Hulshof Score 27%; Club For Growth, Hulshof Score 22%)

Now Congressman Hulshof wants to take his wasteful spending record to the governor's office.
