Despite some internal drama, Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., emerged as the newly elected Freedom Caucus Chair, succeeding Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., as the leader of the conservative group.
Good secured victory in the internal election on Monday, while Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, expressed his decision not to seek reelection to the Freedom Caucus Board after its recommendation of Good as the next chairman.
Axios reported that in a letter to fellow members on Sunday, Davidson voiced concerns about Good's chairmanship potentially impeding their objective to enhance influence and guide policy in the right direction.
Although Davidson did not propose an alternative nomination, he urged board members to earnestly consider electing someone else as Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, fulfilling his fiduciary duty as a board member.
Despite the criticisms, Perry disregarded them and stood by Good, highlighting that disagreements are not uncommon in congressional matters, according to The Hill.
