Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) will challenge House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Ca) to replace Eric Cantor as the next House Majority Leader, he announced in a statement Friday.
“I want a House Leadership team that reflects the best of our conference. A leadership team that can bring the Republican conference together,” Labrador, first elected to the House in 2010, said. “A leadership team that can help unite and grow our party. Americans don’t believe their leaders in Washington are listening and now is the time to change that.”
Labrador’s entrance adds some competition to the race after some McCarthy challengers either declined a run (Rep. Jeb Hensarling) or abandoned one (Rep. Pete Sessions).
He has been pushed as a McCarthy alternative by tea party members like Justin Amash (R-MI) and outside conservative groups like FreedomWorks.
This dog won’t hunt.
Go for it!

Even if he hunts, he won’t tree.
Bet if Raul got the job his incompetent ass would immediately call for a vote to repeal Obamacare.
Labs: “A leadership team that can help unite and grow our party.”
Except that the rest of the “leadership team” doesn’t want you.
That’s not exactly the definition of “unity”, chief.
