FreedomWorks is proud to honor Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) as our member of the month for February of 2019. Rep. Jones serves the people of North Carolina’s Third Congressional District, which encompasses most of the state’s Atlantic coastline and covers the Outer Banks. Rep. Jones, who is currently in hospice care, has been serving in the House of Representatives since 1995.

“[W]ithout a Republican in the White House, or 60 votes in the Senate, there are limits to what you could accomplish.” That was House Speaker John Boehner in an exclusive interview with Politico, defending his lack of gumption as a leader. Complaints from members of the House Freedom Caucus and other conservatives in Congress that Boehner has been unwilling to fight the hard fights and capitalize on referendums from the 2010 and 2014 elections have the Speaker playing defense, but his comments rather miss the point.

FreedomWorks held a Grassroots Summit just outside of Orlando, Florida this past weekend to mark the sixth anniversary of the 9.12 rally in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 12, 2009.

This month’s spotlight falls on Rep. Tim Huelskamp, who has represented Kansas’ 1st District since 2011, and who has one of the most impressive voting records of any member of Congress, amassing a lifetime grade of 97 percent on Freedom Works’ Congressional Scorecard. He is also a proud member of the House Freedom Caucus, the group of 40 or so representatives dedicated to supporting a liberty agenda in Congress.
