Congressman Patrick McHenry was named the most conservative member of the North Carolina congressional delegation today by National Journal.  He was also ranked as the seventeenth most conservative member in the entire U.S. House of Representatives.

“I’ve always voted my conscience and worked hard to best represent the interests of my district.  In town hall after town hall, the people of Western North Carolina repeatedly told me that they were tired of the runaway spending in Washington, tired of the government takeovers of private industry, and did not want to see the health care system become the next target for a power grab by liberal Democrats,” McHenry said.

McHenry continued by saying “in order to turn our economy around we need to take an honest look at drastically lowering our deficit through entitlement reform, lowering taxes so that businesses can create jobs, and adopting an energy policy that fully utilizes the vast natural resources of our country.”

Since taking office in 2005, Congressman McHenry has consistently been ranked as one of the top conservative leaders of the U.S. House of Representatives.
