‘The Senate has now passed regular appropriations measures that account for 87% of next fiscal year’s discretionary spending. We finalized our work on the National Defense Authorization Act, named for Senator McCain. And in August alone, we’ve confirmed eight more of the president’s well-qualified nominees for the federal courts… I hope we can continue to make progress. It remains my intention to confirm all 17 of the nominees currently before us before the Senate concludes our business this week.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following statement today regarding the passing of John Asher: 

“I was saddened to hear of the passing of John Asher. As a legendary voice in Kentucky’s thoroughbred racing community, I got to know John during my many visits to Churchill Downs. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the storied race track and the Kentucky Derby was impressive. Elaine and I send our condolences to his wife, Dee, his family, and to all those who knew and loved him. John will be sorely missed.”

 

‘America will miss her devoted son. Her stalwart champion. Her elder statesman. I will miss one of the very finest gentlemen with whom I’ve had the honor to serve. But we will not forget him. I consider it our privilege to return some small share of the love that John poured out for this country.’
