WASHINGTON EXAMINER – STEARNS BEST BET FOR GOP LEADERSHIP TO KEEP TEA PARTIERS HAPPY – HAS IMPRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE BONA FIDES
THE EXAMINER LOOKS AT POSSIBLE CHAIRS FOR ENERGY AND COMMERCE COMMITTEE
Washington,
Dec 2 -
The Washington Examiner profiles the four
candidates to chair the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The op-ed summarizes the record of each
and comments on their credentials. The Examiner states, “If the GOP leadership
wants to keep restive Tea Partiers happy, [Stearns] might be their best
bet.”
The Examiner further says, “Stearns has
impressive conservative bona fides. He was one of 39 House
members to receive an ‘A’ from the National Taxpayers Union, and Citizens
Against Government Waste named him a ‘Taxpayer Hero’ in 2010. Also, “If he
gets the gavel, Stearns has promised to hold a series of hearings on Obamacare
and to rein in the Environmental Protection Agency, two top conservative
priorities.”
