Congressman Brown Statement After Firing of FBI Director Comey
Anthony Brown (D-MD, 4th)
May 9, 2017
"The termination of FBI Director James Comey is highly troubling at best, or Nixonian at worst, given that the Director was leading the ongoing investigation into the ties between the Russian government and Trump campaign, and Russian efforts to undermine our democracy. I renew my call for a special counsel and independent commission to fully and impartially investigate Russian interference in our elections. Nothing less will restore trust in our justice system."

CLUB FOR GROWTH CELEBRATES 100 DAYS OF PRO-GROWTH PROGRESS
Club for Growth
April 26th, 2017
“Imagine the economic devastation we’d be talking about today if Hillary Clinton had been elected: Higher taxes, more job-crushing government regulations, an expansion of government-run health care, and massive government overreach into the private sector,” said Club for Growth president David McIntosh. “In less than 100 days, President Trump and his administration have not only prevented that nightmare, but they have halted the economic destruction caused by eight years of Obama Administration policies, and have restored consumer and business confidence with strong and effective pro-growth policies (see below). The result of these policies has been a 15% gain in the stock market, which has added at least $2 trillion of wealth to all Americans in their retirement funds and savings.”

MURPHY STATEMENT ON TRUMP DEMANDING RESIGNATION OF SURGEON GENERAL DR. VIVEK MURTHY
Senator Christopher Murphy- (D - CT)
April 22, 2017
“Dr. Murthy is another in a long list of political targets by the Trump administration. U.S. Surgeons General are not supposed to be fired mid-term. They have served administrations of both political parties because keeping Americans safe and healthy isn’t a partisan issue,” said Murphy. “Dr. Murthy helped steer our country through the frightening Ebola and Zika outbreaks, and rightfully focused on the devastation of addiction. He didn’t shy away from speaking the truth about gun violence as a public health crisis. By firing Dr. Murthy, President Trump is politicizing the position of Surgeon General and risking the credibility of our nation's top public health official.”

Portman Praises Trump Administration for Acting to Protect Steel Industry Jobs
Rob Portman- (R - OH)
April 20, 2017
“I applaud the Administration for its commitment to protecting the U.S. steel industry and American jobs. Addressing worldwide steel overcapacity is crucial to ensuring that American steel workers have a level playing field. This crisis is particularly acute in Ohio where more than 1,500 steelworkers have been laid off over the last two years. I look forward to continuing to work with the Commerce Secretary and the administration to protect Ohio jobs and stop trade cheats from unfairly trading steel into the U.S. market.”
