Wasserman Schultz on Rep. Bill Young Retiring

10/09/13
WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young (FL-13) announced he will retire and will not seek re-election in 2014. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) released the following statement:
 
“I’m grateful to my friend and colleague Rep. Bill Young for his leadership and service to the state of Florida. When I was first elected to the House of Representatives, he went out of his way to meet with me and share his years of insight on how to work effectively in Congress.
 
“As someone who has served with eight U.S. presidents and was the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee from 1999-2005 and continues to lead its defense subcommittee, I was grateful when Young once again offered his guidance and advice when I was appointed to the Appropriations Committee in 2007.
 
“Earlier this year, as Chairman of the defense appropriations subcommittee he helped shepherd through a provision I proposed to the Defense Appropriations bill that would bring new focus to late-stage cancers through the creation of a medical research panel to study metastatic cancer. Throughout his 53 years of public service, Young has advocated for more federal funding for medical research.
 
“The longest-serving Republican House member from Florida leaves behind a notable legacy of working across the aisle on behalf of all Floridians. His kindness and diplomacy is well-known. He has earned this rest and I wish him a speedy recovery and will miss seeing my friend on the Appropriations Committee and in the halls of Congress. I wish him all the best in retirement.”
