The Conscience Caucus opens up a Kentucky chapter with the arrival of freshman Rep. Geoff Davis (R).

An article in Saturday’s Cincinnati Enquirer reports: “Davis has said he will not support Bush’s plan to allow workers to invest a percentage of their payroll taxes into self-directed personal investment accounts.”

Says spokesperson Jessica Towhey: “Geoff Davis is against private accounts. He is also for no decrease in benefits and no increase in payroll taxes.”

Towhey includes the obligatory note that Davis is waiting to see the president’s actual plan before making a final judgment. But from the looks of it, we see no choice but to slot Davis as Loud and Proud.
