They also requested the scorecard used to judge their votes. Below is the text of the letter:\n\nDecember 7, 2012\n\nThe Honorable John Boehner\n\nSpeaker of the House of Representatives\n\n232 The Capitol\n\nWashington, DC 20515\n\nDear Speaker Boehner,\n\nWe write to request a full and complete written explanation of the rationale for removing us from our current committee assignments, including any \u201cscorecards\u201d presented to the Steering Committee to justify our removals.\n\nOn Monday, we learned that we had been removed from our committee assignments. Some of us learned of this news from a member of the Steering Committee; others never were officially informed and heard of the action from press accounts citing anonymous leadership staffers. To this date, no formal explanation has been given for the removal.\n\nAfter learning of our removal, it came to our attention that a scorecard was presented to the Steering Committee to make the case for our removal from those committees. On Wednesday morning, Mr. Huelskamp stood before the House Republican Conference and asked to see a copy of the scorecard used to remove us.\n\nThrough this past term, we were not aware that any such scorecard existed, nor that the scores would cause us to be removed from committee assignments. We believe this would be valuable information for the entire Republican Conference to know, so that each Member can make a full and complete decision when casting votes in the future. It would also allow us to communicate to our constituents which votes caused us to be removed.\n\nPlease provide a full and complete written explanation for our removal, including a copy of the scorecard presented to the Steering Committee meeting, by close of business Monday, December 10th.\n\nSincerely,\n\nDavid Schweikert Tim Huelskamp, Justin Amash\n\nU.S. Representative U.S. Representative U.S. Representative\n\nArizona Kansas Michigan\n\nCc: Republican Steering Committee Members\n\nBack to News", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T21:11:51Z"], ["https://schweikert.house.gov/2012/11/27/rep-schweikert-collect-toys-scottsdale-hospital-pediatric-unit/", "REP.
