The Club for Growth Presidential Candidate White Papers are a series of in-depth reports on the economic records and rhetoric of next year’s White House hopefuls.

The Club’s analysis focuses on the candidates' records in several areas that impact economic prosperity and freedom. The categories are: taxes; spending; regulation; free trade; entitlement reform; school choice; legal reform; and political free speech. In addition, to help differentiate between candidates who are principled in their belief in free enterprise and those who readily sacrifice those beliefs in favor of political expediency, the Club also assesses in these White Papers the candidates’ records of political activity and endorsements over the years.

Each major candidate is assessed individually in his or her own White Paper, and each study will be released independently of the others after a candidate’s official entry into the presidential campaign.
