“Senator DeMint is not only a friend and colleague, he is one of my heroes in Washington. I have looked to his leadership many times and always found him to be a man of wisdom and courage.

“I believe Senator DeMint will continue to be a dynamic voice in the conservative movement helping to bring that message to a new generation and a broader audience.

“I have worked closely with the Heritage Foundation for many years and appreciate what Dr. Feulner has accomplished over the past three decades. Under his leadership, the Heritage Foundation has educated millions of Americans to the values of limited government and expanded personal freedoms.” -- Doug Lamborn (CO-05)

Note: Congressman Lamborn worked closely with Senator DeMint to defund National Public Radio. In 2011, DeMint introduced companion legislation in the Senate to Lamborn’s House bill, H.R. 1076.
