Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) isn't term-limited out until year's end, but no less than five conservatives are already in the mix to succeed him.
Rep. Scott Perry isn’t term-limited out until year’s end, but no less than five conservatives are already in the mix to succeed him.
The Freedom Caucus board will likely decide who takes over, but the famously fractious and anti-leadership group is paying especially close attention this time to how chair candidates plan to deal with Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s team. “Some qualifying factors, obviously, are their position on votes and policies, but also how they can communicate that position and get the rest of the team on board,” Rep. Lauren Boebert said, noting that official Freedom Caucus positions require 80 percent support from members. “So you have to have a leader who can unify everyone and get them on the same page without being unreasonable,” she added.
But his move on the debt bill earned Roy more credibility within the Freedom Caucus, where some members skeptically eyed his vote to certify President Joe Biden’s election. Norman, an affable businessman with a budget focus, is said to be very interested in the Freedom Caucus leadership, according to one group member who spoke candidly on condition of anonymity. Seen as a continuation of the leadership-engagement model that Perry brought to the role, Norman has also used his Rules Committee perch to sway legislation more in the Freedom Caucus’ direction.
Finally, others have raised Good’s name as an option who would serve as the Freedom Caucus’ most aggressive future chair, should members elect to stick it to leadership — and perhaps the rest of the conference, tooGood isn’t particularly well-liked by most of his colleagues outside of the group, sometimes inspiring other Republicans to create critical wordplays on his last name.
