In a House GOP Conference that’s been marked by division and legislative paralysis for the past two years, the Republican Governance Group says it’s time to get stuff done and embrace compromise.
While the firebrands in the Freedom Caucus draw the most attention, the governance group – whose 44 members span the ideological spectrum within the Republican Party – is seeking to play a key role in implementing President-elect Donald Trump’s legislative agenda, said Rep. David Valadao, the new chair of RG2, as the group is known.
“We want to govern,’’ said Valadao, who represents a battleground district in California’s Central Valley. “I mean, it’s in the name.”
