November 10, 2006—Trent Franks (AZ-02) in his effort to help the Republican Party return to the Reagan conservatism that it once was, has endorsed fellow Arizonan John Shadegg for Minority Whip of the 110^th Congress.

In a letter to colleagues Franks said, “I believe that the citizens of this nation still want responsible, limited government that is characterized by a strong commitment to protect the innocent, fidelity to the Constitution, low taxes, and integrity.  I believe that the Republican Party remains the best hope for delivering such a government. 

“I believe that John Shadegg, as a member of the Class of 1994 and former chairman of both the Republican Policy Committee and the Republican Study Committee, is well suited to help lead our Conference, our Party, and our nation to the goal of government that conserves the best of what we have learned in millennia of human history.  I wholeheartedly endorse his candidacy for Minority Whip in the 110th Congress…”

 Trent Franks is the Congressman from the 2nd Congressional District of Arizona.  He is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, the House Judiciary Committee and Vice Chairman of the Constitution Subcommittee
