Republican Study Committee Chairman Kevin Hern (OK-01) announced today that Representative Ben Cline (VA-06) will chair the RSC's Budget and Spending Task Force, a panel previously chaired by Chairman Hern.

The Budget and Spending Task Force produces a conservative federal budget every year. In the 116^th and 117^thCongresses, it was the only true budget offered.

"The Budget and Spending Task Force is near and dear to my heart," said Chairman Hern, who led the Task Force in the 117^th Congress. "The budget is the most important piece of legislation we can put together. Without a balanced budget, we will never get our country back on track. Returning to a place of fiscal responsibility isn't going to be easy; it's going to take hard work and a clear vision. Ben is a true fiscal conservative – I'm glad to have him chairing this important team and I look forward to working alongside him in the 118^th Congress!"

Rep. Cline said, "I am honored to serve as the new chair of the Republican Study Committee's Budget and Spending Task Force, and I look forward to working alongside the RSC Chair, Congressman Kevin Hern, to get our Nation back on track. With a new Republican majority, we have an opportunity to make this the budget that is used as a blueprint for advancing conservative principles and common-sense policies. By championing fiscal responsibility, I am confident we can take the steps necessary to restore economic prosperity to our great Nation."
