NRCC Chairman Hudson Statement on Kevin McCarthy

NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson (R-NC) released the following statement after Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced he would leave Congress at the end of the year:
 

“Kevin McCarthy’s contributions to our country and to growing the House Republican majority are unparalleled. A razor-sharp political mind, Kevin personally raised hundreds of millions of dollars and recruited hundreds of diverse candidates that led us from deep in the minority to the majority. This devotion to building our party is born from a strong love of country and a heart for service that motivates Kevin at his core.

“Born to humble beginnings, he worked for everything he had in life – driving the son of a firefighter to climb to the highest heights of American politics. Kevin is a believer in the American Dream because he lived it.

“Not only is Kevin McCarthy all of these things – he is also my close personal friend and mentor. Kevin taught me to always be the bigger person, focused on doing big things to make everyone around you better. Thank you Kevin McCarthy. I wish you and Judy all the best as you begin this new chapter of life.”
