Minority Whip: Rep. Masters**
 * Minority Leader:** **Rep. McHenry


 * Legislative Priorities**:

Security: The majority of the Republian representatives have created bills that will strengthen our nation's security. Although as Republicans we are the minority we hope that the democratic representatives will acknowledge the importance of these issues, and support our bills facing security. Representatives Fritchie and Weston have proposed a bill that will increase funding to states with major ports, to strengthen port security. We believe that the federal government should aid the states, but leave port security up to the states with major ports. The states are capable of spending the money to increase port security. Representative Gregorio is working on a similar bill: increasing the federal funding for boarder control, to prevent illegal aliens from entering the country. Illegal immigrants has become a major problem, and it must be fixed. As minority leader I believe that our strongest strategy and safest bet would be to focus on passing the bills facing security.
