Congressman Goodlatte is the only member of the Virginia Delegation to receive an “A” rating, which is based on 274 votes taken in the U.S. House of Representatives during the 2nd Session of the 112th Congress. “It is an honor to receive this recognition as a ‘Taxpayers’ Friend,’” said Rep. Goodlatte. “As the 113th Congress continues working to make real changes to the culture of excess spending and put us on the path to a balanced budget, I will remain a strong advocate for responsible spending and tax policies. If we are to spur greater economic growth and job creation, we must take serious steps to restrain federal spending and implement real reforms to our tax system. We must also look toward fiscally sound policies that truly address entitlement spending, one of the greatest contributors to our debt. Tackling these issues will help to ensure a more prosperous future for businesses and families in the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia as well as generations to come.” PHOTO: Congressman Goodlatte receives the “Taxpayers’ Friend Award.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
