Rep. Van Epps Celebrates Joining the Republican Study Committee, The House’s Largest Conservative Caucus

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) announced that Rep. Matt Van Epps (TN-07) joined the largest conservative caucus in Congress. The RSC has served as the conservative caucus of House Republicans and a leading influencer on the Right since its original founding in 1973. 

Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11) released the following statement welcoming Rep. Van Epps to the RSC, “Matt Van Epps spent his career defending our nation, now he's defending the American values that make our country so great in Congress. Tennessee sent the Republican Study Committee a conservative fighter who's ready to deliver on the mandate. We're proud to have him join our ranks along with over two-thirds of House Republicans.” 

Rep. Van Epps celebrated the announcement, “Once I became a member of Congress, joining the RSC was a no brainer. I wanted to connect and partner with fellow conservatives who are not only like-minded, but who are guided by a deep commitment to the founding principles of this great country. I’m here to get things done and to make a difference, and I am confident that under Rep. Pfluger’s leadership, the Republican Study Committee is the place to do that. The RSC’s commitment to limited government, fiscal responsibility, a strong national defense, and preserving traditional values is second to none in Congress. I’m excited to work with them to make our country a freer and safer place to live for Americans.”
