Conservatives Demand Reform

The House Freedom Caucus, a group of solid conservatives in the House of Representatives, recently sent a letter to the leadership and to all GOP candidates demanding reforms and transparency. 

“Republicans ran to fix Washington,” the letter states.  “We cannot continue to govern in the same way that broke it.” 

It goes on to tell current members and those who will soon be newly-elected members that the status quo is unacceptable, and serious changes are necessary to provide greater input and transparency in the legislative process. 

The House Freedom Caucus urged candidates who prevail on Election Day to be ready to hit the ground running.  Very soon after the election, they will have to make independent decisions in critical votes on leadership races and the new rules that will bind the chamber for the next Congress. 

I am encouraged by this letter, and I look forward to working with more conservative allies on Capitol Hill next year!
