Kevin Brady gets the challenger he Deserves....

"So Saul eyed David from that day forward."

The Woodlands, TX - National conservative policy expert and media commentator Autry Pruitt today launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for Congress in Texas’s 8th Congressional District saying he shares the frustration of Texas voters who are disappointed with the Republican Congress.

“Watching Congress makes me sick to my stomach,” said Pruitt, an author, broadcaster and Donald Trump campaign surrogate. “For years the smartest Republicans in the room (a.k.a. Republican Congressional leadership) told us that if we gave them the House and the Senate, they would repeal Obamacare, give us real tax-reform, and take control of our massive debt. We delivered, they did not. Much like the people of the 8th Congressional District, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and other good Texans, my family and I share the frustration of voters and we grow more frustrated everyday at their lack of resolve.”

“Many people worked incredibly hard to give the Republicans a majority. But, Obamacare is still law of the land, the government still steals your money, and America is in crisis debt territory,” said Pruitt. “The inaction of the current Republican Congressional leadership is standing in the way our pro-America agenda and that’s just all sorts of wrong.”

Good.  Kevin Brady has been an abject failure as Ways and Means chairman.  We're certainly in the market for an upgrade.

Bottom Line: We've never met Mr. Pruitt or even been aware of his work, but based upon ten minutes on Google it seems that his credentials check out.  Furthermore, we suspect we share a number of mutual friends with Mr. Pruitt.  It remains to be seen how strong of a campaign Mr. Pruitt runs, but on first inspection it looks like a significant step in the right direction.
