“I am honored to be nominated by Speaker Boehner to once again join his leadership team in the 113th Congress, and feel privileged to serve the American people as the Chairman of the House Committee on Rules.  I will strive to maintain Chairman Dreier’s consummate professionalism and leadership that I have seen first-hand during my 14 years on the committee, including the past two years as his Vice Chairman.

“I look forward to working with the Speaker and all of my colleagues to ensure that Chairman Dreier’s charge to make the Rules Committee transparent and accountable continues.  Our conference is committed to restoring the American Dream, and I will tirelessly defend Republican principles to get our country back on the right track.”
