Club for Growth President Chris Chocola: “The Club for Growth PAC stands ready to make sure that Republican primary voters are also watching the voting patterns of the big government crowd.”  

Washington, DC - The Club for Growth PAC today called on the House GOP Steering Committee to release the list of votes it used to determine how Republican members of Congress received their committee assignments. 

According to The Hill, Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) was told by Speaker John Boehner that removing fiscally conservative members of Congress from their committee assignments, “had nothing to do with their conservative ideology, but had to do with their voting patterns. 

“Conservatives want to know if the Republican leadership is more interested in helping their cronies and friends or in advancing conservative policy on the Hill,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “The Club for Growth frequently ranks members of Congress based on their commitment to economic freedom, and we post all of the votes we use on our website for the world to see. The House Republican Steering Committee should do the same.” 

“The Club for Growth PAC stands ready to make sure that Republican primary voters are also watching the voting patterns of the big government crowd in the House GOP,” added Chocola.
