“The NRCC is committed to working with Mick Mulvaney as he continues to meet the rigorous goals of the Young Guns program,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions. “Mick Mulvaney is an accomplished leader for South Carolina, and he already has significant momentum behind his campaign. I am confident that he will be successful in his effort to defeat John Spratt, who is a career politician focused on Wall Street bailouts, a National Energy Tax and a government healthcare takeover, not job creation.”

Mulvaney understands that the people of South Carolina’s Fifth District share the principles of limited government, fiscal restraint and lower taxes, personal responsibility and a focus on private enterprise to create jobs.
