Ron Johnson in Washington Next Week to Fight for Fiscal Restraint

Oshkosh, WI…Senator-elect Ron Johnson will be in Washington for Senate Orientation and important leadership and Republican resolution votes next week.  Soon after Election Day, Senator-elect Johnson agreed to co-sponsor the earmark elimination resolution scheduled for vote on Tuesday at a meeting of Senate Republicans.

Senator-elect Johnson issued the following statement regarding his upcoming visit to Washington:

“As I promised during my campaign, I’ll vote for the elimination of earmarks every opportunity I get and am pleased to co-sponsor Senator DeMint’s resolution.  I’m looking forward to the orientation sessions next week as an opportunity to begin learning the rules of the institution so I can be effective for Wisconsin.   I’m also eager to meet other Senators of both political parties and begin discussing ideas and ways we can turn the American economy around, create jobs and get our nation’s financial house in order.  I’ll seek out allies from both parties who are serious about bringing change to Washington.”
