It is unacceptable for us not to deliver on the faith the voters have invested in us.\nI am honored by the confidence of my colleagues and will work to lead the Republican Study Committee towards effective conservatism \u2013 in a manner reflective of its distinguished legacy.\u201d\nThe Republican Study Committee has served as the conservative caucus of House Republicans and a leading influencer on the Right since its original founding in 1973.
