Georgia’s Tom Price Says He Won’t Run for Leadership Slot

Rep. Tom Price of Georgia has decided not to run for leadership in the wake of Eric Cantor’s pending resignation as majority leader.

“The encouragement I’ve received from colleagues over these past couple of days has been humbling,” he said. “My position has always been that I’m ready to serve in whatever capacity might best help unify our team, promote our conservative principles and, above all, pursue positive solutions on behalf of our constituents. To that end, at this time, my focus is on the opportunity to serve as the next chairman of the House Budget Committee.”
