Bruce Westerman Advances to 'Young Gun'

Press Release

The National Republican Congressional Committee announced today that Bruce Westerman has reached "Young Gun' status, the top tier of the committee's three-level recruitment program. He has reached the third and final level by establishing a clear path to victory through his ability to build a formidable campaign structure and achieve important goals and benchmarks. Originally founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Young Guns program supports and mentors challenger and open-seat candidates in races across the country. Westerman is running in Arkansas' 4th Congressional District.

"Our job as a committee is to help elect Republicans to office that will serve as a check and balance on the Obama administration," said NRCC Chairman Greg Walden. "Bruce has outlined conservative principles that will grow jobs, stop the harmful effects of ObamaCare, and get Washington's spending under control. Bruce has met a series of rigorous goals that will put him in a position to win on Election Day."

Bruce Westerman has been honored to serve as Arkansas's first Republican House Majority Leader in 138 years. Bruce now wants to take his commonsense principles to Washington to continue fighting for Arkansas families where an unfair Obama Administration governs from the top-down, picking winners and losers.

He is a lifelong resident of Garland County and sees it as a huge privilege to be sent to Congress to serve on behalf of his community. Bruce knows that serving in Congress is necessary to ensure that Arkansas children have a brighter future as well as a federal government that treats them fairly.
