Issue Position: Removing Sales Tax from Groceries

Issue Position

"When you tax a necessity like groceries, it puts a burden on those who are in need the most. I have worked for a long time to eliminate this tax and give relief to people struggling to make ends meet, and I'll continue that fight." -- Senator Gerald Dial

Senator Gerald Dial believes you and your family shouldn't have to pay tax on the groceries you need every week. He's been working for years to find an equitable solution to remove the state sales tax on these essential items. Gerald is one of the few Republicans focusing on this important issue, offering bill after bill during the legislative session. The sales tax helps fund education, and if we eliminate it, we must be innovative in finding other revenue sources for our schools without new taxes.
