LAHOOD LAUDS SERVICE OF
CONGRESSMAN LANE EVANS
WASHINGTON—Congressman Ray LaHood (R-IL 18) issued the
following statement upon the announcement that
Congressman Lane Evans (R-IL 17) will not seek
re-election:
Lane Evans has been a good friend to me and a valued
member of the Illinois Congressional Delegation for many
years. His work will be missed by those of us who serve
with him on Capitol Hill and he most certainly will be
missed by the citizens he represents.
Through his service on the Veterans Affairs Committee,
Lane has been a tireless advocate for nation’s
veterans. He has a well-deserved reputation for
delivering first-class constituent service and it has
been a true pleasure for me to work with him on a host
of issues that impact the citizens of our adjacent
districts.
Lane
has valiantly battled Parkinson’s disease for the past
decade. I wish him Godspeed as he continues this battle
and I ask everyone to please keep Lane Evans in your
thoughts and prayers.
