Club for Growth honors Sensenbrenner
The conservative-leaning Club for Growth has included U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Menomonee Falls, among 52 recipients of its Defender of Economic Freedom Award.
The award honors congressmen who compiled a score of 90 or higher on the Club's analysis of lawmakers' votes on "pro-growth policies."
"This is one simple way to review and measure how a Representative is protecting the tax dollars of his or her constituents," Sensenbrenner said in a statement. "I am humbled by The Club for Growth's recognition and appreciation of these efforts through the awarding of this honor."
