Others Who Agree with My Recommendation for House Majority Leader
FORGET MAJORITY LEADER, THIS GUY SHOULD BE PRESIDENT!
"I personally believe there is no place in the federal government for a Department of Education. It is not in the Constitution. There is no mention anywhere in the Constitution that the federal government has any role in education. I believe that the federal government doesn't have a role in education.
"I have several members of my family, including my wife, who are teachers, who are not at all happy with the so-called No Child Left Behind bill, which I think has gone far astray from what it was even intended to do. And I would like to hope that at some point we could get the federal government out of the business of education altogether, and acknowledge that this is policy that should be decided at the state level.
"...The National Endowment for the Arts...still does not have a legitimate government purpose. It still should not exist as a federally funded function..."
- Rep. John Shadegg, Arizona Republican and candidate to replace Tom DeLay as House Majority Leader, Human Events, 1/23/06
REPUBLICANS AT A CROSSROAD
"Electing John Shadegg (R-Arizona) majority leader would send voters the clearest possible signal that excessive spending and sleazy ethics are not the hallmarks of congressional Republicans. With their congressional majorities potentially at risk, Republicans must decide which face they want to present the voters - business as usual or real reform."
- San Diego Union-Tribune editorial
ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH ON SHADEGG
"Of the three contenders (for House Majority Leader), only Arizona's John Shadegg (R-Arizona) offers the dedication to principle and commitment to reform that could get his wayward party - and Congress - back on track."
- Rocky Mountain News editorial
SHADEGG-MANIA RUNNIN' WILD
"Whatever the outcome of Rep. John Shadegg's bid to become House majority leader on Feb. 2 when the 231 House Republicans meet in private to pick a successor to Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, he certainly has raised his national profile.
"Since Shadegg announced Jan. 13 that he was a reform candidate for the post, the Arizona Republican, previously little known outside his home state, has grabbed the endorsements of national periodicals such as National Review and Human Events magazine.
"Shadegg also has been racking up a list of newspaper endorsements that go well beyond his hometown Arizona Republic. As of Friday, he'd gotten the backing of the Dallas Morning News, the San Diego Union-Tribune, the New London (Conn.) Day, the Indianapolis Star, and Denver's Rocky Mountain News."
