WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement on Blake Farenthold’s victory in Texas’ Twenty Seventh District:

“I am proud to finally congratulate Congressman-elect Blake Farenthold on his victory in Texas’ Twenty Seventh District.  The people of South Texas have elected a true common sense, fiscal conservative who will put a stop to the reckless tax-and-spend policies that are undermining our economic recovery and burdening America’s small businesses.  Throughout his campaign, Farenthold has demonstrated his commitment to less government, low taxes, and individual responsibility.  His victory over a long-term establishment Democrat sends a clear message to Washington, DC that it’s time to stop Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi’s far-left agenda and start putting America back on the track to economic prosperity.”
