Washington, DC – Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-32) has received a top award from the American Conservative Union (ACU) for his conservative voting record in the 2nd Session of the 110th Congress.
Named an “ACU Conservative,” Sessions received a 92 percent conservative score as part of ACU’s 2008 Rating of Congress based on 25 key conservative votes in three categories: economic/budget matters, social/cultural issues, and defense policy. During his tenure in Congress, Sessions has received an overall conservative rating of 97.17 percent from ACU.
“For nearly half a century, the American Conservative Union has been the gold standard for conservative advocacy, and I am honored to once again receive an award from them,” said Sessions. “Especially in an era of massive spending, prevailing liberal ideology, and one-party rule in Washington, I believe that conservative principles are vital to ensuring the continued fiscal, moral, and security strength of our nation.”
The American Conservative Union is the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots conservative organization with a stated commitment to a market economy, the doctrine of original intent of the framers of the Constitution, traditional values, and a strong national defense.
“I am proud to share ACU’s core values, and I look forward to continuing my work of fighting for fiscal discipline and limited government in this fiscally irresponsible Congress,” Sessions concluded.
