Chairman Sessions Statement on Jeff Flake’s Announcement

Washington, DC – National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) issued the following statement regarding the announcement that Congressman Jeff Flake (R-AZ) will run for the U.S. Senate:

“For 10 years, Jeff Flake has been a stalwart fiscal conservative and dedicated public servant for the people of Arizona. Jeff’s relentless fight defending taxpayer dollars against Washington waste and government growth has earned him respect in Congress and across the nation. Jeff has been a great friend and colleague to me, and the House will miss his principled leadership.

“I look forward to the people of Arizona’s 6th congressional district sending another Republican to Congress who will continue Jeff Flake’s pursuit of smaller government and individual liberty. Jeff, his wife Cheryl, and their children have my best wishes as they set out on a new mission to serve all Arizonans.”
