Limited government conservatives remain disgruntled in Congress, both when in the majority and when in the minority. Republicans campaign on shrinking government, lowering taxes, embracing free markets, and upholding the constitution. But members who actually hold themselves to these promises once in Congress exist only in small pockets.

FreedomWorks is proud to honor Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as our member of the month for January of 2019. Rep. Massie serves the people of Kentucky’s fourth congressional district, which encompasses the northernmost part of the state, running along the Ohio River. His district includes suburbs of Cincinnati and Louisville, and a small portion of the city of Louisville itself.

Within a few days of Congress returning from recess, House Republicans are once again undermining the document that conservatives promise time and time again to uphold -- the Constitution. This latest move comes despite the GOP losing control of the House just over a week ago for its leadership continually failing to uphold a number of conservative promises to the American people.

Republicans’ consistent platform in elections is an adherence to the Constitution, rule of law, and fiscal responsibility. Two weeks ago, those same Republicans in the Senate allowed both of these to more than fall by the wayside. One might point initially at hearing this to the passage of the omnibus spending bill, which -- make no mistake -- did throw these principles under the bus.

The House and Senate are in session this week.
