John Shadegg's candidacy for U.S. House Majority Leader. "There is no member of the House of Representatives more committed to the idea of limited government and economic freedom than John Shadegg," said Club for Growth president Pat Toomey. "To be an effective governing party, Republicans must focus once again on these core issues and John Shadegg has the unique qualifications to lead the way." Rep. Shadegg is one of only four Members of the House of Representatives to vote the pro-growth position on every key vote identified last year by the Club for Growth. To view the scorecard, click here. "The House Republican Conference has been ideologically adrift," continued Toomey. "This nominally conservative party is responsible for a huge expansion of government and letting spending get out of control." "John Shadegg is a principled, effective leader who can build consensus across the full range of the Conference to return to the core issues of limited government and economic freedom that produced a Republican majority in the first place," Toomey concluded.
