Wrestling with sacred COWS in Graham High scene
Washington The Graham High School wrestling room in St. Paris, Ohio, marks Jim Jordan's start to a career that led to the University of Wisconsin and two NCAA titles. As House Republican Study Committee chair, he leads an insurgent push to curb spending and challenge leadership. The RSC claims 170 of 241 Republicans and 70 of 87 freshmen. They demand deeper cuts, including a plan to trim 2.5 trillion over 10 years, contrasting with leadership’s 2011 cut proposal. Jordan defends ethanol and farm subsidies reforms while acknowledging market limits and political risk. The piece notes his wrestling past, family background, and potential Senate run context.
