On the heels of President @realDonaldTrump’s election to the presidency, conservatives are proud to stand with Sen. Rick Scott’s bid to lead the…
The Senate is a powerful, but broken, institution. The rights of individual senators to debate, deliberate, and represent conservative interests are routinely subverted by a leadership that is too eager to cut deals with the left. “We often take votes that divide us and unite Democrats,” Sen. Scott pointed out when he announced his bid. We agree.
The current leadership of the Republican conference is not one that prioritizes the ideas and talents of its individual members. Rather, it seems more focused on the interests of Washington, D.C. As Sen. Scott put it, “there have been far too many backroom deals cut in secret, rarely do things go through the committee process, and it’s accepted practice to not allow amendment votes to trillion-dollar spending bills.”
In the next Congress, we expect to see new leadership promote change that unites the Republican conference toward supporting President Trump while allowing all senators to have their ideas heard and represented on the Senate floor. Committee process, amendment votes, leadership term limits, and an appropriations process which allows for more than a day or two of deliberation are all key conservative aims.
Senate Republicans need bold leadership that will not be influenced by special interests inside and outside of the Senate. Sen. Scott is a new, strong, courageous leader who will bring change to the Senate and to our country. He will lead the charge to support the Trump agenda in the Senate. We urge all conservatives to support him.
