Rep. Kevin Hern is planning to make the Republican Study Committee a fiscal check on the next Congress.
The Oklahoma Republican, who was unanimously elected to chair the conservative RSC, said he wants the group to lead in opposing President Biden’s agenda and returning the nation to where it was under former President Donald Trump.
“What you’re seeing is the Biden administration and Democrats eroding our national security with poor economic policy, poor border policy, poor energy policy and certainly our focus will be to reverse those,” Mr. Hern told The Washington Times.
Mr. Hern, a former businessman who came to Congress in 2018, said he wants to ensure that balancing the federal budget is the top priority for the RSC, which will have about 170 members or about 80% of the House Republican Conference.
