Congresswoman Jenkins Reacts to Rep. Giffords Retirement Announcement

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins released the following statement after Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords announced she will soon retire from Congress:

“I've known Gabby long before either one of us considered running for Congress, due to our involvement in the American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL) and the Aspen Institute’s Rodel Fellowship, and I will truly miss seeing her in the halls of the House.  While I am sad to hear she is moving on, I wish her well as she continues her remarkable recovery. Though she is retiring from the House, I know that Gabby’s impact on public policy is far from over, and I look forward to seeing the great things she will accomplish in the years to come.”
