MEDIA ADVISORY: Rep. Mulvaney Releases Statement on Senator DeMint's Resignation

December 6, 2012

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Mulvaney released the following statement regarding Senator Jim DeMint's Resignation:

"The news of Senator DeMint's resignation from the Senate comes as a surprise. Senator DeMint has been a strong conservative voice, and he leaves big shoes to be filled. I have faith Governor Haley will appoint someone with the character, leadership, and conservatism Senator DeMint has provided South Carolinians for the past eight years. I am proud to have worked with Senator DeMint and I will continue to call him a friend and a mentor in the years to come. I wish him the best of luck as he continues fighting for the conservative cause at The Heritage Foundation."
