House Freedom Caucus Re-Elects Jordan as Chairman

The House Freedom Caucus unanimously re-elected Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) Monday evening to serve as its chairman for 2016.

Members of the conservative caucus cast their votes in the basement of Tortilla Coast, the Capitol Hill haunt where the group has gathered many times before, reaffirming Jordan’s leadership of the HFC.

Founded in January, some of the 39-member HFC said it was an easy decision asking Jordan to remain chairman for the group’s second year in existence.

“He’s done a fantastic job representing our values and trying to get Congress to do what America needs doing,” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said after the vote.

In the first several months, the HFC has distinguished itself as the contrarian contingent in the House Republican Conference, primarily concerned with voting down procedural rules and holding out support for must-pass bills to contract ideological concessions.
