Fallin named communications chairwoman of GOP committee

Oklahoma U.S. Rep. Mary Fallin (R, OK-5) on Monday was named communications chairwoman of the Republican Study Committee, an organization of more than 100 GOP House conservatives.

The Oklahoma lawmaker said her first job will be to help present a "conservative, fiscally responsible plan" to stimulate the economy.

"Conservatives and the American people understand that we cannot borrow and spend our way to prosperity," Rep. Fallin said.

Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., is the current RSC chairman.
