Rep. Heather Wilson statement regarding U.S. Senator Pete Domenici
Washington D.C. – Rep. Heather Wilson released the following statement today regarding U.S. Senator Pete Domenici.
“I understand Senator Pete Domenici will make an important announcement tomorrow.
“Whatever his announcement, New Mexicans can be grateful for all our Senator has done for our state and nation. He drove the Balanced Budget Act that led the country to balance the budget for the first time in thirty years in 1998, 1999, and 2000 – paying off $450 billion in publicly held debt. He was the engine behind the 2005 Energy Bill that is already helping America to be more energy independent. He has been honored internationally for his contributions to non-proliferation of nuclear material through the landmark Nunn-Lugar-Domenici legislation and has championed insurance coverage for the mentally ill.
“Pete Domenici has been a mentor and an inspiration to me and I will support whatever decision he makes tomorrow afternoon.” |
