WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Tom Cole (OK-04) made the following statement after Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections:
"This election is a resounding rejection of big spending and big government. In their first chance to vote on the Obama/Pelosi agenda, citizens overwhelmingly voted against Obamacare, higher taxes and trillion-dollar deficits.
"Congress now has a strong, unequivocal mandate to cut wasteful government spending and take decisive action to reduce our crippling debt. Conservatives have the right polices to restore fiscal sanity and economic prosperity, and I am confident we will move swiftly to make the tough choices demanded by the American people. "
