KING TAKES OATH, BEGINS WORK IN THIRD
TERM
WASHINGTON
- U.S. Congressman Steve King (R-IA)
today took the oath of office for his
third term in Congress representing
Iowa's Fifth Congressional District.
King will
work in the 110th Congress to
restore integrity to the legislative
process, secure America's future, fight
for renewable fuels and give western
Iowans a strong voice in the creation of
the nation's laws.
"My oath
to defend the Constitution is humbling
and brings with it an overwhelming
feeling of responsibility I have to the
people of the Iowa and the nation," said
King. "I will continue to work my
hardest to protect life, liberty and the
pursuit of opportunity."
King will
also continue to lead a prominent
conservative Republican forum on Capitol
Hill during the 110th Congress. King
will serve as chairman of the
Conservative Opportunity Society, a
position held by former speaker of the
House Newt Gingrich. The Conservative
Opportunity Society is a 22-year-old
organization that provided the common
ground on which conservative Republican
House members planned the revolution
that ultimately captured majority
control of the House in 1994.
