Conservatives float Trey Gowdy as next House majority leader

[spanone]

A long-simmering campaign among conservative activists to draft Rep. Trey Gowdy into a House leadership post has suddenly re-emerged in the scramble following House Speaker John A. Boehner’s resignation.

A movement to pull Gowdy into the race for majority leader began to rapidly pick up momentum Tuesday morning, with several Republican members from across the ideological spectrum saying they have personally asked the South Carolina Republican to jump into the contest.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and a Gowdy friend, kicked off the calls on Fox News Channel Tuesday morning: “If you want the best person to make the Republican case, if you want the best person to talk about why conservatism is the right answer for America, Trey Gowdy is our best foot forward.”

Meanwhile, Texas Rep. Pete Sessions — the former head of the National Republican Congressional Committee and ex-House Rules Committee chair — threw his hat into the ring for the job of majority whip. Reps. Patrick McHenry (N.C.) and Dennis Ross (Fla.) are also competing for the third-ranked leadership job. Rep. Markwayne Mullin (Okla.) is a possible candidate.
