WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today following the Senate confirmation of Russell Coleman of Kentucky to serve as the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky:

“I congratulate Russell Coleman on his confirmation as the United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky. His previous experiences in law enforcement have prepared him for this new role, and our communities will benefit from his leadership. I am grateful that he is willing to serve the Commonwealth and the country once again. Russell is a talented public servant, and I know that he will make us proud.”

‘The Rohingya are stateless and have faced discrimination and isolation. Media reports indicate that their existence has gotten much worse over the past several weeks. I am deeply troubled by the humanitarian situation along the Burmese-Bangladeshi border and the violence in Rakhine state must stop. But, as I stated earlier this week, in my view, publicly condemning Aung San Suu Kyi — the best hope for democratic reform in Burma — is not constructive.’

‘To put it simply: our efforts are about more jobs, more opportunity, and more money in the pockets of the middle class. Without tax reform, American families will be forced to continue living under an unfair tax code with rates that are too high, American jobs will continue to be shipped overseas, and small businesses will be increasingly uncompetitive against foreign companies.’
