August 16, 2007

Throughout her Congressional career, Deborah Pryce has championed issues that matter to the families of Central Ohio. Her commitment to reducing taxes, strengthening our national defense¹, and reforming our health care system has helped improve the lives of her constituents² and made America a more hopeful Nation. She has also earned national recognition as a persuasive³ advocate on behalf of women and children. Based on her strong legislative⁴ record and consensus-building skills, Deb's colleagues selected her to lead the House Republican Conference - the highest leadership post ever held by a Republican woman. She will be missed when she departs the Congress.

I look forward to continuing to work with her throughout the remainder of her service. Laura and I appreciate Deb's friendship and wish her and her family all the best.
