Cornyn Statement On The Appointment Of Rep. Dean Heller To The U.S. Senate

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, today made the following statement regarding Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval’s announcement that he intends to appoint U.S. Rep. Dean Heller (R-NV) to the United States Senate:

“I congratulate Congressman Heller and look forward to welcoming him to the U.S. Senate. At this time of economic uncertainty, it is critical that we have common-sense, fiscally-responsible leaders like Dean Heller in Washington; leaders who are focused on creating real economic growth by supporting a balanced budget and reining in reckless Washington spending.

“Dean’s Democratic opponents have embraced Harry Reid’s failed, big government policies, and if elected they will continue to steer our country on a downward path of fewer jobs, more spending and a record debt. Next year’s election is critical, and in the months ahead, voters throughout Nevada will see firsthand why Dean Heller is the right leader, at the right time, to continue serving them in the U.S. Senate.”
