WASHINGTON – National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement regarding Reince Priebus’ election as Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman today:

“I congratulate Reince Priebus on his election as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, and I look forward to working with him to advance our commonsense conservative agenda.  The months and years ahead hold high stakes and tremendous opportunities for our party and our country.  I have no doubt that Reince’s leadership will be invaluable as Republicans work to reduce the burden of government on families and job creators, get Washington’s reckless spending and debt under control, and put Americans back to work.”
