Cole-d

House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today announced his support for Rep. Pete Sessions’ (R-TX) to serve as chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee in the 111th Congress. Boehner released a statement:

“Tom Cole has guided the NRCC through a difficult time for our party, and I’m sincerely grateful for his service to our team. But I believe having Pete Sessions at the helm of the NRCC in the next cycle will give House Republicans our best shot at rebuilding a majority coalition. Pete has the skills needed to recruit top-tier candidates and give them the support they need to challenge a Democratic Congress that has been bought and paid for by liberal special interests. We need Pete Sessions at the leadership table as the next chairman of the NRCC.”
