On January 13, 2006, Shadegg officially joined the race for the House Majority Leader as an alternative candidate to Representatives Roy Blunt and John Boehner. Shadegg received the support of the National Review, the Club for Growth, and the Arizona Republic. After he did not get enough votes, he threw his support behind Boehner.
