“Lindsey first entered Washington in 1994 with the Republican Revolution, and became the first Republican who, after 120 years, was able to win in his House of Representatives district.

In 2002, he ran for the U.S. Senate; an election in which he was supposed to lose, but he succeeded with ease. Lindsey quickly became a master of political maneuvering at one of the largest legislative institutions in the world. He secured unprecedented funding for our armed forces, and as chair of the budget committee, he carried out the largest investment in border security in history.

Last year, he led the passage of the biggest tax cuts in American history. And of course, he was also one of the Supreme Court’s biggest defenders. His passionate defense of Judge Kavanaugh ended in a shameful attack on this very deserving man—and delivered one of the biggest moments the Senate has ever seen. I believe that moment may have been Lindsey’s best hour.”
