Republican Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland was elected Tuesday as chairman of the House Freedom Caucus to succeed Republican Rep. Bob Good of Virginia.
Harris was appointed as chairman after Good was ousted in his June primary by Republican state Sen. John McGuire, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump. McGuire won by a slim margin of nearly 400 votes, which was later confirmed after Good called for a recount.
“It is an honor to serve as the next House Freedom Caucus chairman,” Harris said in a statement. “I look forward to leading this caucus as we confront the reckless spending of the Biden-Harris Administration, work to secure our Southern Border, and defend our constitutional freedoms in the House of Representatives.”
“Upon my recount being completed on August 2, I had told the board that I was submitting my resignation as chair, effective when the board decided to act upon it,” Good told the Hill.
