Huelskamp Receives Award for Conservative Excellence for 2014 Congressional Voting Record

WASHINGTON – Congressman Tim Huelskamp (KS-01) was presented with the Award for Conservative Excellence by Matt Schlapp and the American Conservative Union.

The award is only presented to Members of Congress who scored greater than 90% on a variety of issues important to grassroots conservatives.  The ratings include votes on taxes, wasteful government spending, cultural issues, defense and foreign policy. Huelskamp earned a score of 96% in 2014. 

Matt Schlapp, President of the American Conservative Union, had this to say about Huelskamp's record:  “Conservatives in Kansas' 1st Congressional District have come to expect independent conservative leadership from Rep. Tim Huelskamp. From exposing fraud at the Department of Veterans Affairs to his dedication to a strong culture of life, Rep. Huelskamp displays a real passion for traditional conservative values. That passion is reflected in his voting record and we are pleased to award him with ACU's Award for Conservative Excellence based on his 96% ACU rating for 2014.”

Huelskamp: “I am proud to accept the Award for Conservative Excellence from Matt Schlapp and the American Conservative Union. I am honored by their recognition of my proven conservative voting record.  Being a conservative is not just talking about it during a campaign – it is actually voting that way in Washington.”
