GOP Pulls Funding, Staff From Rep Who Opposed Health Bill

The Congressional Leadership Fund officially decided to remove funding and staff to boost Rep. David Young, due to his decision to oppose the American Health Care Act, according to a Thursday report from the Wall Street Journal.

The CLF is a super-PAC operated by Republican leadership in the House. Staffers with the CLF opened a district campaign office last month as a part of its effort to ensure that Republican numbers stay high during the 2018 midterm elections.

The GOP opened up two offices a full 20 months ahead of the midterms, one in Young’s district in Iowa, and one in Rep. Don Bacon’s district in Nebraska.
