House Freedom Caucus Elects Mark Meadows Chairman

WASHINGTON ― After close to two years with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sitting atop the House Freedom Caucus, members of the conservative group elected Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) Monday night to serve as the new chairman.

In the basement of Tortilla Coast ― a Capitol Hill watering hole where the group used to meet until they started going to a local Chinese restaurant, which recently had a fire ― members unanimously elected Meadows to serve as the new chairman after Jordan declined to serve a third term.
