Kevin Brady Challenging Paul Ryan for Ways and Means Committee Chair
Texas Rep. Kevin Brady is touting his friendship with fellow House Ways and Means Committee member Rep. Paul Ryan, saying there's little reason the pair would get down and dirty in an expected battle for the gavel of the powerful tax-writing committee.
"I don't expect it to be acrimonious," Brady said during a taping of C-SPAN's "Newsmakers."
"We are friends. We talk about this."
The "Newsmakers" interview will air Sunday.
Brady, the second-most senior Republican on Ways and Means – behind current chairman Rep. Dave Camp of Michigan, who must relinquish the title in 2015 because of term limits – declared Feb. 28 that he was "qualified and prepared to lead this committee."
And by doing so, Brady set up a challenge to the nationally known Ryan, who's already made his case for seeking the chairmanship.
"He's a terrific leader, a good friend," Brady had said when he unveiled his plan.
