My Home About Me

Club for Growth-sponsored Jeb Hensarling has been elected the new head of the House's Republican Study Group. Outgoing Group champion Mike Pence had this to say:

"Jeb Hensarling is a friend of freedom like no other. Over the past two years, Jeb has been at the center of every battle where House conservatives made a difference for fiscal discipline and reform. Jeb Hensarling is the right man to lead House conservatives in the 110th Congress.

"For his integrity, his personal courage and his unparalleled devotion to the conservative agenda, I welcome the election of my friend, and freedom's friend, Jeb Hensarling of Texas as the next chairman of the Republican Study Committee."

In other news, on the Senate side, Jim DeMint has been named the new chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, a caucus of conservative senators that includes the majority of the Republican Conference.

If the GOP keeps making smart picks like this, then 2008 is just looking brighter and brighter.
