RSC looks forward to ratifying the USMCA, which will add $68.2 billion to our economy, bring our trading relationship with Canada and Mexico into the 21st century and support American workers.

Last week, the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) elected Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ-5) as their new leader. He replaces Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC-11). Congressman Biggs officially takes the helm on October 1.

Conservative Partnership Institute Chairman Senator Jim DeMint tweeted, "The Freedom Caucus is in great hands with Rep. Andy Biggs, a rock solid conservative and a truly principled leader. He is an able replacement for Rep. Mark Meadows, who has done tremendous things for the HFC."

The Daily Signal Podcast recently interviewed Congressman Biggs.

Thanks to those of you who signed the amicus brief in Congressman Steve Stockman's appeal. It has been officially filed with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral argument is set for October 8. The brief concludes, "The Government misled the jury by creating confusion about complex law, and by contorting innocent acts to appear suspicious in that poisoned context. The Appellant was also improperly barred from developing facts and arguments about campaign finance and tax-exempt law - and scandalous, unlawful targeting of outspoken, politically active conservatives like him - that could have provided the reasonable doubt for the jury to acquit. Steve Stockman’s conviction should be reversed."
