Club for Growth Targets Republicans

Via Politico -

Conservative PAC Club For Growth announced 9 Republican members of Congress that will be targeted in 2014. Having just released scorecards for Congressional members, the PAC selected these 9 members because their lifetime score with the PAC was below 70.

The 9 districts are safely Republican; all of them went to Romney in 2012 by over 60%. Club For Growth will also launch a website later today, www.PrimaryMyCongressman.com, to aide in the PAC’s new campaign.

 

 

Club For Growth President Chris Chocola added -

“We started thinking … if their standard is electability and the most conservative Republican that can win, they ought to be the first to fill out the nomination form [in every one of the nine districts] because clearly a more conservative candidate can fill these districts than the ones that are serving.”

The 9 members of Congress are as follows -

Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho)

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.)

Rep. Rick Crawford (R- Ark.)

Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.)

Rep. Steve Palazzo (R-Miss.)

Rep. Martha Roby (R-Ala.)

Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.)

Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.)

Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.)
