After House Speaker John Boehner pushed through a series of votes opposed by conservatives, including the Farm Bill, the continuing resolution to fund the federal government, and a bill to increase the nation’s debt ceiling, a national conservative group says it will not support GOP candidates in 2014 who support Boehner for Speaker in the next Congress.

Daniel Horowitz, policy director for the Madison Project, tells the Daily Beast that the group will not endorse or support candidates in the mid-term elections who would vote to keep any of the current House leadership in the next Congress, including Boehner.

“Rubber stamping the omnibus bill, the Farm Bill, and debt ceiling while pushing for Obama’s immigration priorities represents just the latest indication that Boehner would rather fight us than Obama,” Horowitz said. “So getting candidates to commit to change the failed leadership in the party is one of the ways to cut through the talking points and discern whether a candidate will really serve as a game-changer or another status quo Republican.”

Horowitz added that the Madison project’s strategy not to support candidates who support the current congressional leadership simply reflects conservative activists’ own frustrations.
