NRCC Statement on Tom Latham’s Announcement

Washington, DC – National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) and Deputy Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) released the following statement regarding the announcement of Congressman Tom Latham (R-IA) that he will run in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District in 2012:

“Tom Latham is a proven conservative leader whose Iowa values of hard work and fiscal responsibility drive his commitment for less government that empowers America’s heartland to prosperity. We applaud Tom’s decision to fight for job creation and opportunity for more Iowans by running for Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District. Tom has the leadership, vision and Main Street America solutions to combat Democrats’ tax, borrow, and spend agenda that continues to discourage job creation in Iowa and across the nation.

“The NRCC is committed to re-electing every House Republican Member through our Patriot Program, which empowers House Republicans with the strategies and resources to stay on offense against Nancy Pelosi’s House Democrats. We look forward to supporting Tom Latham as he takes on a new opportunity for Republican victory in 2012.”
