"As a strong conservative, Senator Shelby fights every day to advance the priorities of Alabama families. Tonight, voters recognized that hard work with a decisive victory. Without Senator Shelby’s tireless work, the Republican majority would not be as strong as it is today.
"Under Republican leadership, the first ever Obamacare repeal bill passed the Senate, as well as the Keystone Pipeline jobs bill, and the first balanced budget resolution in more than a decade.
"I congratulate Senator Shelby on his victory tonight, and look forward to working with him to protect the Senate majority."
