“This award is a reflection of Congressman McKeon’s consistent support of conservative principles on a wide range of concern to grassroots conservatives in 2010. At a challenging time when the fundamental principles of the American system of government are being challenged, Congressman McKeon stands with those who are trying to preserve these principles.”
The American Conservative Union tracks a wide range of topics to determine the issues and votes that separate conservative and liberal members of Congress in order to provide the public with information on where members of Congress fall ideologically. McKeon’s 96% rating stems from his consistent conservative voting principles.
“I am honored to be recognized by the ACU for my work in Congress this past year and appreciate the goals of the organization,” said McKeon. “While my voting decisions are largely based on common sense reforms and policies encouraging a prosperous economy, strong national security, and care for our citizenry, they also tend to be conservative in nature and a reflection of the ideals put forth by our Founding Fathers. I will continue supporting the rule of constitutional law and democracy and appreciate the support of the ACU in doing so.”
