"Julie and I appreciate Bob and Jeri’s continued commitment to serving our nation. During his tenure in Congress, I closely followed Bob’s work, learning much from his principled positions for less government and more personal freedom. Bob is a statesman, always fighting to empower the taxpayer. I am grateful for the positive conversation we had today and the encouragement he provided. I have no doubt Bob will continue to advocate for conservative ideas, and I look forward to working with him as we go forward.”
