WASHINGTON – Yesterday, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) was named chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Budget by the Republican Conference. Today, the senator released the following statement:

“I’m stepping into this role following the tragic death of my friend and colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham. He was a true American patriot, and he will be sorely missed.

“As chairman for the remainder of the year, I intend to maximize this opportunity to define the fiscal challenge we face, help expose the fraud in government programs, and work with the House, the White House, and my Senate colleagues to enact as much of President Trump’s agenda as possible.”
