NRCC Incoming Chairman Walden’s Statement on Jo Ann Emerson’s Announcement

WASHINGTON – National Republican Congressional Committee incoming Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) released the following statement in response to Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson’s (R-MO) congressional retirement announcement:

“As the first Republican woman to represent Missouri in Congress, Jo Ann Emerson has been a principled, determined voice for Missouri families and small business owners. During her 15 years in Congress, Jo Ann has focused on protecting farm families, promoting American agriculture, and working to create jobs.

“My colleagues and I will miss Jo Ann’s friendship and dedicated service in the House. In the years to come, I’m sure Jo Ann will embrace her new challenges and continue to be a leading advocate for Southern Missouri families. I wish her and her husband Ron all the best.”
