Conservative group slams Duffy voting record | Wausau Daily Herald | wausaudailyherald.com: "Club for Growth rated the first-term lawmakers on 34 votes related to reducing federal spending and trimming the size of government. Duffy supported the group's position on 58 percent of the votes, going against the Club for Growth on 12 of the 34 measures.

While the Weston Republican's score was not the lowest in his class, it was well below the average of 71 percent among freshmen and 69 percent among veterans. Rep. David McKinley of West Virginia received the lowest score of 37 percent."

"Duffy opposed defunding the National Labor Relations Board, a 5.5 percent reduction in spending for the remainder of the fiscal year, a 5 percent cut in agriculture spending and a $3 billion cut in the budget for Department of Interior and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Rep. Reid Ribble, R-Sherwood, also a freshman, scored 90 percent. He voted against the Club for Growth position on three of the 34 measures the group reviewed."
