Statement from Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Keith Downey and Deputy Chairwoman Kelly Fenton on the retirement of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has been a tireless fighter for the people of the 6th District and for our country. After her announcement today of her impending retirement from Congress, first and foremost we thank Congresswoman Bachmann for her service.
At a time when the public has lost confidence in politicians who say one thing while doing another, during Michele Bachmann’s four terms in Congress we always knew where she stood and what was in her heart. She was never afraid to take a principled stand.
Congresswoman Bachmann brought the same energy and passion to every facet of her job - from the smallest constituent request in Minnesota to leading Congress to overturn Obamacare.
There is no better example of her legacy of hard work than the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday for the new St. Croix River Bridge. Her years of perseverance on behalf of the people in her district made this new bridge a reality.
In the long tradition of national leadership from Minnesota, Michele Bachmann was never afraid to tackle the big issues in Congress. And in the spirit of Minnesota, the woman who raised her family and so many foster children, has stood strong for the families she represents and the ideals she cherishes.
The citizens of the 6th District will lose a strong leader, but we know that the people of Minnesota will benefit from whatever future endeavor she decides to pursue.
