Washington, D.C. - Senator Ron Johnson (WI) made the following statement in response to the news that the Senate will remain in session during the Fourth of July recess:

“I’m happy to hear that Senator Reid and President Obama agree with the point that Senator Sessions and I made earlier in the week – that it’s important for the Senate to stay in session over the Fourth of July recess to address our nation’s looming fiscal crisis. It’s also important that we don’t waste this time – that we stay and work to seriously address the root cause of this crisis – Washington’s excess of spending.“
