WASHINGTON, DC:  Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01) released the following statement after being endorsed by the Republican Study Committee (RSC) Founders in the election for RSC Chair:

“I am humbled by the endorsement of the RSC Founders. I believe they share my vision of re-energizing the RSC and enhancing its position as an effective voice for conservatives in the House.

“The RSC can be a powerful vehicle for change in Congress, and I believe that with my experience and leadership it can have an even greater impact on conservative policy, steering the House in the right direction under a new president.

“I look forward to working with my RSC colleagues in the 115th Congress to tackle the issues of reducing our debt and deficit, lowering our taxes, re-establishing America’s power and pre-eminence across the globe, and restoring and preserving social conservative values.”
