Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. The last two years I have had the great honor of leading the effort to reclaim a Republican Majority in the House of Representatives. Now I have fulfilled my initial mission statement: to retire Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions as he was joined by House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH).
Despite record victories as
NRCC Chairman my vision and work is not done. I strongly believe in selling the fight and I will be asking my colleagues to support me as NRCC Chairman next Congress to strengthen our gains and advance an agenda for American prosperity said Sessions
I look forward to leading our new Majority through the challenges of re-electing over 80 freshman Republican Members navigating congressional re-districting and maximizing a presidential election cycle.
Additionally I look forward to leading our new Majority through an expanded policy leadership role that will enable me to shape and promote the Republican agenda among Members and across America.
I thank Leader Boehner for his leadership and support and I look forward to working with him and our entire new Republican Majority to empower the American people to succeed."
Leader Boehner:
Our
Republican Conference needs Pete Sessions steady hand of leadership next Congress and I am very pleased that he has decided to seek another term as NRCC Chairman.
Additionally Ive asked Pete to take the lead for New Member Development. Petes position on the Rules Committee gives him a unique vantage point to
help our new Members navigate policy issues and his many friendships across the Capitol will help in introducing our new colleagues to the Senate.
Pete Sessions and I have been in the trenches together for many years and I knew two years ago that our party required his vision skill and leadership to end the Democrats monopoly on power in Washington and elect a new Majority that would listen to the people. I am very grateful for Petes tireless work as he has helped to guide House Republicans from the political wilderness to an historic victory for the American people.
Pete earned unprecedented support from the Republican Conference by transforming
the NRCC into a member-driven organization. He raised the money oversaw recruitment of the candidates and focused a strong message for our Members and candidates to play offense.
As the architect for the new Republican Majority Pete Sessions has my admiration and gratitude and I look forward to his strong leadership in the years ahead" said Boehner.
