New Face: House Republicans Unanimously Elect New Chair To Study Committee

The Republican Study Committee unanimously elected a new chair on Thursday, just a day after the House Republicans officially sealed a tiny majority in the 118th Congress.

"I’m honored to earn the support of my colleagues to lead the largest caucus on Capitol Hill. The Republican Study Committee has an important role in our new Majority: We are the conservative conscience of the Republican Conference,” said Rep. Kevin Hern of Oklahoma in a statement according to the Daily Signal.

The Republican Study Committee is a committee that has served the Republicans in the House of Representatives since its formation in 1973. In particular, it seeks to aid the most conservative members of the House and help them get specific policy measures passed through the institution. The organization’s website specifically states:

“The Republican Study Committee (RSC) has served as the conservative caucus of House Republicans and a leading influencer on the Right since its original founding in 1973.”

Hern is a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and was able to defeat challenges from Democrat Adam Martin and independent Evelyn Rogers with 61.2% of the vote to win his House seat in the 2022 election based on figures from Ballotopedia.org.
