New House GOP Steering Committee is Pro-Growth
Most of the members of the 108th Congressional Republican Steering Committee have CSE Economic Scorecard ratings of 80% or higher, which means they voted repeatedly to cut taxes and grow the U.S. economy. The CSE Economic Scorecard tracked 20 key votes in 107th Congress, and scores above 80% earned the respected Jefferson Award.
CSE President and CEO Paul Beckner commented: “Today, we learned the make-up of the new Republican Steering Committee, which will have an expanded role in determining House GOP Committee assignments. Based on the overall voting record of these legislators, I believe that the interests of the taxpayers will be well served in the 108th Congress.”
