House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) has hired Barry Jackson as his new chief of staff to replace Paula Nowakowski who passed away earlier this month. Although Jackson has a history with Boehner, this is an encouraging sign as Jackson was heavily involved in drafting the Republican’s Contract with America. Could this mean that House GOP leadership is contemplating something similar?
“By bringing the director of the Contract with America back to the Hill during this important time for the nation, we’re sending a message that Republicans are serious about listening to the people, building a principled and lasting majority, and renewing the drive for smaller, more accountable government,” Boehner said.
A new Contract with America or some sort of written pledge would be something to look forward to!
