Senator James Demint:  Homeschool Conference Speaker and Workshop Leader Details

Since his first campaign for Congress in 1998, Jim DeMint has proven to be a principled leader that has fought to secure America’s freedoms for future generations.

Elected to the Senate in 2004, DeMint has quickly established himself as one of the most outspoken, effective conservative leaders in Washington. With a background in owning his own small business, he has been a tireless advocate for smaller government, individual liberty, a strong national defense and traditional values.

In late 2006, he was elected as chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, which is comprised of the majority of Republican senators and works to advance conservative ideas and solutions. He was recently ranked as the Senate’s most conservative member by National Journal and as the No. 1 senator voting for responsible tax and spending policies by the National Taxpayers Union.

DeMint understands the greatness of a country is found in its people and values, not in its government and has proposed workable conservative alternatives on key issues such as energy exploration, health care and immigration.
