Pelosi Statement on Leader Mitch McConnell

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he would step down from Senate Leadership at the end of this Congress:

“Leader Mitch McConnell is to be recognized for his patriotism and decades of service to Kentucky, to the Congress and to our Country.  He and I have worked together since we were appropriators, long before either of us were Leaders in the Congress.  While we often disagreed, we shared our responsibility to the American people to find common ground whenever possible.  I send best wishes to him and Elaine as they prepare for their next chapter.”
