By Cynthia Dizikes | 01/23/09
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Freshman Rep. Erik Paulsen today was named to the Republican leadership team. House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) selected the Minnesota Republican to serve on the Republican Whip Team, an uncommon assignment for a first-year member of Congress.
Paulsen said he was "honored" to be a part of the team.
"Our country faces many challenges," Paulsen said in a statement. "And I look forward to helping develop constructive solutions for the people of the Third District."
As a deputy, Paulsen will help Cantor manage the legislative program on the House floor.

Erik Paulsen:
"I look forward to helping develop constructive solutions for the people of the Third District."
I wonder if he means ALL the people of the Third District, or just those deemed to be "one of us".
Yup, Erik your your usuall self. You never say what your going to do. With Cantor, we know how far to the right you will legislate.
