WASHINGTON — In a midterm campaign year that typically favors the minority party in Congress, House Republicans will convene their annual retreat Wednesday in Florida, aiming to home in on policy proposals that members have been considering as they work to regain the majority in November.
The three-day issues conference kicks off Wednesday afternoon in Ponte Vedra Beach at the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa, which is next door to one of the top destinations in golf: TPC Sawgrass, which hosts The Players Championship, an illustrious PGA Tour event.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in June announced seven task forces focused on issues important to the conference: jobs and the economy; big tech censorship and data; future of American freedoms; energy, climate and conservation; American security; healthy future; and competition with China.
