Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) announced Thursday that he is running for House Republican Conference chair, arguing that the party’s election losses stemmed from broken promises and leadership’s unwillingness to pursue conservative policies.
“Republicans didn’t lose because we were too conservative. We lost because we failed to deliver on the conservative policies we promised,” Steube wrote in his announcement. “I’m not interested in preserving the status quo. I’m stepping forward to give Members a conservative choice and take our Conference in a new direction.”
Steube joins a contest that includes incumbent Conference Chair Lisa McClain (R-MI) and Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN), as House Republicans choose their leadership following the loss of their majority. McClain is seeking another term in the position.
In a letter to colleagues, Steube accused Republican leaders of putting Washington’s demands ahead of their commitments to voters. He said conservatives who questioned the party’s decisions had been brushed aside. He wrote:
We had the resources, the opportunity, and the responsibility to govern. Yet too often, instead of standing firm on our principles, our leadership chose accommodation over conviction. The priorities of Washington took precedence over the commitments we made to the voters who put us here. Conservatives who raised concerns about our direction were too often ignored. The election results should make clear that this approach has failed. I have been outspoken about these failures because I believe our Conference deserves better. We cannot continue doing the same things, making the same excuses, and expecting a different result. We need to take an honest look at where we went wrong and have the courage to change course.

But it's hard to get worse than what we have had.
I find him totally uninspiring.

I tend to agree, but I supposed we could give him the chance to disappoint us.

“Steube joins a contest that includes incumbent Conference Chair Lisa McClain (R-MI) and Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN).”
Steube is the most conservative of the three mentioned in this article.
That’s true, but it would save time to just be disappointed from the get go.
