Axios reports:
Members of the House Freedom Caucus have tapped Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) to serve as the next chair of the powerful conservative group. Good is expected to play a leading role in negotiations on key pieces of legislation, with the HFC slated to continue to have strong influence given the narrow majority.
The role as caucus chair has served as a springboard for some into high-profile positions. Former Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) was former President Trump’s last chief of staff and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) locked down the gavel for the House Judiciary Committee.
