‘The bottom line is this: we must vote to begin debate. Because once we do, we will be one step closer to taking more money out of Washington’s pocket and putting more money into the pockets of the hardworking men and women we represent. This is our chance to deliver relief for the people who have sent us here. And the way that we can do that is by voting to proceed to the bill.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding the passing of anchorman Ken Rowland:

“I was saddened to hear about the passing of Ken Rowland, a Kentucky broadcasting legend. Ken was a familiar face on Louisville news channels for decades, and I remember his award winning coverage during his days at WLKY and WHAS. Ken was a Hall of Fame journalist and I got to know him while serving as County Judge-Executive when he would report stories from the local courthouse. Elaine and I join with the city he loved to send our condolences to his wife and family and his TV family. He will be missed.”

WASHINGTON—This afternoon, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement.

"We have important work to do, and Democratic leaders have continually found new excuses not to meet with the administration to discuss these issues. Democrats are putting government operations, particularly resources for our men and women on the battlefield, at great risk by pulling these antics. There is a meeting at the White House this afternoon, and if Democrats want to reach an agreement, they will be there."
