FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 4, 2016 DES MOINES— In an editorial board interview with the Sioux City Journal, Patty Judge admitted that she opposes a federal balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Judge’s irresponsible fiscal policies led to her losing reelection in 2010. “Patty Judge says she doesn’t want to ‘tie the hands of future administrations' with a balanced budget amendment, but thankfully she and Chet Culver were prevented from saddling Iowans with an even worse fiscal crisis because of Iowa’s balanced budget amendment,” said Grassley Committee campaign manager Bob Haus. “Patty Judge piled up a mountain of debt, spent way beyond the state’s means and now wants to lecture Iowans against a balanced budget amendment. Her reckless and irresponsible budgeting is what got her kicked out of office in 2010, and with the federal government in nearly $20 trillion of debt, she shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the United States Senate.” Read More
