The Fraud of Rhett Marques: Soft on Crime and Heavy on Your Wallet

Is Representative Rhett Marques Really Fit to Protect Our Communities?

When examining the record of Representative Rhett Marques, one can easily see this R.I.N.O. as the fraud he is. His record of taxing the people pales in comparison when looking at his votes on public safety.

This man is as soft on crime as the cream puff he is. Marques voted for House Bill 2 in 2021, which permitted the supervised early release of certain criminals. According to reports, this legislation resulted in the early release of 369 inmates convicted of crimes ranging from possession of marijuana and theft to robbery and murder.

When you factor in his history of taking Paycheck Protection Program loans during COVID-19 through his business, Jones Tire, and his legislative record on taxes, do we really trust him with the safety of our citizens?
