Graves’ Statement regarding Blunt Announcement
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Congressman Sam Graves issued the following statement today in response to Congressman Roy Blunt’s announcement that he will not seek a second term as House Republican Whip:
 
“Roy has been a friend and mentor to me since I entered Congress. As the Republican Whip, Roy Blunt never strayed from his principles and always fought for what he thought was right. Roy won votes not by raising his voice, but by listening to members and working to make legislation better.
 
“While I will miss his leadership in the Whip’s Office, I look forward to working with Roy in the coming Congress to fight for the commonsense Republican principles that will help all of Missouri’s families.”
