Speaker Gunn named to 2022 Republican Legislative Campaign Executive Committee with RSLC

By: Frank Corder - January 13, 2022

Speaker of the House Philip Gunn

The RLCC is dedicated exclusively to electing Republicans to state legislatures.

Mississippi Speaker of the House Philip Gunn (R) has been named to the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) 2022 Legislative Campaign Executive Committee. Gunn has previously served on this committee.

The RSLC says in 2021 it had historic victories in a number of liberal strongholds.

The committee won back control of the Virginia House despite being outspent 2:1, netted seven seats in the New Jersey legislature, and flipped three seats from Democrat to Republican in special elections – including in two districts that Biden won by double digits in 2020.

As it continues to build off of these unprecedented successes that defied all expectations, the RSLC says today’s announced 2022 Executive Committee is its largest caucus and the only national organization devoted to electing Republican state legislative leaders — the Republican Legislative Campaign Committee (RLCC).

“In 2021, state Republicans sent a message to the entire country that liberal policies being implemented by President Biden and in blue states are a failure for our country’s prosperity and well-being,” said Indiana House Speaker and RLCC Chairman Todd Huston. “I’m excited to work with the fantastic executive committee we put together to ensure state Republicans continue holding the line against the radical liberal agenda coming out of Democrat-controlled Washington.”

The full list of the members is below.
