Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Newsmax on Tuesday that the six new GOP candidates for speaker of the House are "fiscally conservative" and will take the House in a "new direction" as members hold secret ballots to pick a designee for the conference.
The six remaining Republican candidates are Reps. Jack Bergman of Michigan, Byron Donalds of Florida, Tom Emmer of Minnesota, Kevin Hern of Oklahoma, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, and Austin Scott of Georgia. Burchett said Tuesday it is important that the candidates for speaker all have a fiscally responsible agenda because of the financial straits the nation finds itself in.
"All the eight of us did was expose what's really going on," he said. "Now you're seeing all these folks that are running wanting to go in a different direction fiscally. So, I think all we did was expose it. I think that, in the long run, it's going to do this country a great deal of service because of our fiscal situation.
