On the recordNovember 18, 2010
On November 2nd, the American people amplified their voices to command a new way forward. They were tired of lawmakers strangling them with Big Government regulations instead of creating much-needed jobs, and they were tired of excessive borrowing and spending. Yesterday, the Republican Conference listened to the concerns of Americans and selected leaders who will transform the way business is done in Washington. I believe our team, led by John Boehner and Eric Cantor, will curb spending, create jobs, and promote opportunities to keep money in the pockets of hardworking taxpayers. I was particularly thrilled with the election of South Carolina's Tim Scott--from my birthplace of Charleston--to the leadership team. Congressman-elect Scott's business background and proven record of bringing jobs to South Carolina is a great addition to the new Republican leadership. I look forward to working with him to promote limited government and expanded freedom. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11th in the global war on terrorism.
