Washington - This morning, members of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) elected Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) as the committee's chairman for the 115th Congress. Heritage Action released the following statement from chief executive officer Michael A. Needham:
"During his short time in Congress, Congressman Walker led serious legislative efforts to advance conservative policy priorities on issues ranging from education to health care. In an era of unified government, the Republican Study Committee is well positioned to advance conservative priorities that will help Americans who rightly feel disconnected from the success experienced by the nation's ruling class.
"Heritage Action commends Rep. Andy Harris for his principled campaign and continued commitment to conservative principles. We congratulate Mark Walker and look forward to working with him in his new role."
