Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey Named to Super Committee
For the record, I so called his selection to this committee days ago.
Senator Pat Toomey responds to his selection to the committee:
“I am deeply honored for the opportunity to serve on this bipartisan committee and to be part of the important work we will be doing. In light of last week’s events, with the nation’s credit downgrade and the deep drop in the markets, it is all the more imperative that this committee do its job effectively and come up with a product that both tackles our debt crisis and can help revive our failing economy.
“Despite the difficulties ahead, I am committed to tackling this challenge and am hopeful that we can produce a proposal that seriously reduces our nation’s deficits and grows our economy. Throughout the debate over the debt ceiling, I stressed that we need a solution that achieves the dual goals of putting our government on a path toward a balance budget, and maximizing economic growth and enabling us to create the jobs we badly need. I remain committed to both of these vital goals.”
Senate Republican Leader, Mitch McConnell selected Toomey along with Senators Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Rob Portman (R-OH) to the Super Committee.
House Speaker, John Boehner selected Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), Dave Camp (R-MI), Fred Upton (R-MI)
